Just want to take a beat to express my awe at how *open* we've all been to trusting one another here. I've seen so many folks feel safe talking about hardship, mental health, loss... and *of course*, that's in large part because we have robust tools on #CoSo to protect against bad faith actors...
But it's also a reminder that, deep down, we're not as desensitized as a common media myth likes to suggest we are.
We are human. We want meaningful connection.
And we *show up* when it's on offer. ❤️
Interactions here are genuine.
@BenWalker Agreed. The whole structure rewards bringing your full human forward. A refreshing change from the last decade or so.
So true.. That’s been the biggest adjustment for me. People interacting with no ulterior motive… Lowering shields has been an interesting experience.
@MLClark Nicely put. I'd be happy if we reject all of the media myths that don't suit the reality of being human.
👍 👏 👏 👏 👏 💓
@MLClark OMG, yes! It's the increased sense that there is a real person on the other end here that's the big difference for me.
