My goal for discourse on Mastodon:
Use 500char for nuance and compassion that is sorely lacking on birdsite. Create a culture where problems can be discussed without writing off people who disagree as clueless and irredeemable. Treat disagreement as a sidebar compared to our goals of building space and better worlds together, rather than the main event.
Also, balance all of the above with no tolerance and no platform for nazis, bigots, and hateful people.
