I'm noticing folks leaving this place or 'taking a break'. Like it's noticeable. I'm not really sure what has been going on here the last few days, it's fragmented and confusing. I don't actually know what I need to do to fix this problem.
You are allowed to have disagreements here and there are tools for you to curate your experience here. What is going wrong this last couple of days?
Help me help us solve the problem. Whatever it is.
@th3j35t3r it started with disagreements over racial things I believe and the comfort of people being able to engage or not.
@th3j35t3r Some believe that we need more discussion and that we are not welcoming enough for some people.
@TheNewsOwl @th3j35t3r This. CoSo skews fairly white (and maybe a bit older). Some BIPOC folk started talking about things about our community culture that make them feel unwelcome/need to walk on eggshells to protect white fragility.
I've just been reading (and very busy this week, so I probably missed a lot), but these types of discussions, while necessary, can be exhausting for marginalized folk and sometimes hard for others to really listen to without injecting their opinions.
@sanau That is why I have simply done what I can with tooting more diversity. I know it is not much however I do hope that it can make others feel as they can engage. Also, I am the type to simply do instead of discussion for a long time really so that was my solution. @th3j35t3r
