Meta-discourse, #socialharm 

Negotiation is an important aspect of mitigating and fixing harm, and to do so requires good faith from both sides. It requires trust, and it requires that you don't consider somebody an enemy.

Reacting negatively to a person who is speaking out about harm done to them creates extra harm. It's easy when you're hurt to hurt others- emotions can carry you through things that you don't intend to do.

Meta-discourse, #socialharm 

Let's talk about harm.

Harm is a force that restricts our options. Harm for someone with a platform to sustain themselves that requires visibility to survive means that any posts that deride that constitute abuse and create harm. It is a direct attack against livelihood.

Harm for folks who do not rely on a platform can come from other ways: bending or breaking the truth, perpetuating an opinion without actually engaging - these all can cause harm.

Meta-discourse, #socialharm 

Hello! I'm going to talk about some things relating to harm and the current discourse floating around. Please feel free to mute me, or the hashtag "" I put at the end of posts while I post this stuff. This will be the only one on the PTL.

It's going to be relevant to the here and now, but I am going to avoid talking about things in terms of the raw problems involved as they are not my problems to solve or manage.
