saw this linked on mastodon, i know nothing about it other then what's in this blog post but its kind of fascinating from an organization and community-building perspective. so in other words its utterly relevant to the current social media and political zeitgeist

my thoughts are basically that this reinforces two things i already believed, which is that no matter how good your intentions are, it's never a good idea to be anything other than upfront and honest about your goals with the people you're trying to recruit;

and that even though its slower, operating communities based on actual democratic principles (ie, letting people decide as a group what paths to go forward, even if you personally disagree) leads to better long-term stability and is thus the only real path forward; it's better to keep your organizing small and limited in scope rather than try to force a larger group to go along with you if the only avenue for that is eliminating that governance

I keep saying it, but endless septembers are a symptom of your growth outstripping your onboarding capacity, and you can't really recover from that without a LOT more work.

this is like the dark reflection of that

amazing that they made a place obviously just there for people to have fun and hang out and then got mad at everyone who came for not participating in some kind of totally invisible SAW style ARG where you're supposed to uncover the leadership's secret plan
