"talking honestly about your problems" isnt parasocial or oversharing but especially in the entirely reasonable context of "having disability make it hard for you to follow through on something"

why do you hate seeing people talk about the strain the labor they perform puts on them? being entitled to whatever your idea of professionalism is from people you have no relationship with is a form of cop brained consumerism

"please, just make the website. dont remind me you are a real person with problems. allow me to pretend your effort is limitless and your failings are intentional"

i have followed people for articulating cogent criticisms of this site. i have blocked a lot more people for reacting in a manner that can be shorthanded as "ew dont be so disabled in public"

you can just block all the staff accounts instead of showing your ass if you dont like the answer to "where is feature" being "someone is sick and it is delayed"

I hate how big tech conditioned us to assume the people working on the stuff we use are faceless entities to whom we can be jerks and refuse to acknowledge the humanity of, I hate it!!!

in reply to @rotsharp's post:

I do not understand the impatience of those who are like "I'm mad that the website doesn't have [feature] yet >:c". Even putting aside the disability stuff for the moment, this website is still nice to use and even though there is some stuff that I personally would like, it's perfectly usable as is. But like staff is really open about the disability stuff and explaining why certain features aren't done yet.

I just don't get how someone can read staffs' posts and not just go "Ok I'll wait". I've become a really impatient person, and I can still wait for things like this!

some people seem to act as if theyre forced at gunpoint to post here (i block them because they tend to be miserable people to know) and like, if feature completeness is your primary problem... come back in a year? thats an easy solution, but then you cant yell at strangers online about it

also, she's talking about what the staff members post on their personal accounts. where many of the people they are interacting with are their actual, real life, knew-each-other-elsewhere-for-years friends. basically saying "staff shouldn't USE the website they're building, it's not FOR them"
