Semi public lament about masto, some talk about boundaries and my approach 

Lately a lot of folks have put a lot of pressure on me to be a sort of moral compass for the fediverse

I want y'all to know, I hear you and am trying my best to help folks do the best they can

But we need to be clear about how this works for me:

- I will take you seriously even if I don't act
- I act if awoo users have become involved
- I act if the behavior causes harm or can lead to causing harm

Semi public lament about masto, some talk about boundaries and my approach 

When I do act, here is my approach:

- is the person acting out of intent to harm?
- is the persons harm enough to ignore intent?
- does the user have a long history of problems?

Assuming I have a good relationship with the user, I will reach out to them

If I don't, I usually speak with my summit before acting- a decently sized group of awoo.space folks who are in our discord and choose to participate

I do everything in my power to not heck it up but I'm fallible and even this process fails sometimes.

That said, if you're ever willing to give me constructive feedback, I'm willing to listen but I may ask for a different time based on spoons.

Thanks for reading and understanding my process folks
