Adrienne, we don’t know each other, so I’ll share this: my intent has been
to find a safe and smart and welcoming community. If constructive criticism
comes across to you as an attack, consider why you are assuming ill will
and bad intentions. Consider how you benefit from silence and blaming
victims. I found a lot of very lovely free/libre software contributors in
Cuba, in Malaysia, and other places I’ve been. And at least a dozen FSF
staff and Libre Planet speakers and other have demonstrated kindness and
intelligence and a community orientation.

But sadly, this list, a minority of individuals refuse to believe people’s
personal experiences — and all have communicated in a closed-minded way.
Aaron send Thomas and Paul and others and Jean have occasionally shown
interest in imagining better governance, new organizational contexts for
happy hacking. But it seems that there remains a preference for cult-like
hero worship and foot-kissing over learning and growing personally, or for
the movement.

I’ve resolved to find other communities. I join hundreds of others who have
decided leaving or fleeing hostile, toxic spaces is best for free software.

So, HELLO WORLD!

If anyone on this list can recommend other productive and happy community
spaces for free software, please let me know!
