In 30 years of working on apps and the web, I’ve never had a falling out like this with another developer. It’s depressing. There are lessons here in why social media brings out the worst in us, amplifying disagreements. Things I’ve written a lot about! But seeing it happen live is something else.
@Havn @Denny @pratik I hear what you’re saying, but I think it would be wrong to contrast my opinion with anyone else’s unless they wanted to blog about it. Vincent’s feelings have been distorted in the public anyway. What I can do is make my own views clear. I’ve always wanted Micro.blog to be a welcoming, safe place. That mission was there on day one. I’ve been working on updating the community guidelines to be even more explicit, and there’s a new highlight about LGBTQ+ people. Read it and send me feedback if it’s off the mark.
