Said a couple times, witnessing what - in similar context offline - would be a minor issue and quick #reconciliation, lead to broken #relationships and silencing.

We sadly live in a day and age where dark forces gathered around the globe. As no day before in our lifetime its vital to stand #strong and #united in the face of evil.

#Progressive space is singled out by the enemy as a danger to them. It's not at all unthinkable, even likely that state actors closely surveil our #fedi #environment, looking for ways to weaken us.

We spread #activism here, forge #grassroots #bonds, lend supporting shoulders, take #care for each other. Build #resistance. ✊

Yet so easily we fight amongst ourselves: we block, we suspend, we ignore. Based on minute nuances of #progressive approach. Understandable. Our #moderation tools are but poor, our #culture fragile.

Let #Harmony be the tip of our spear!

Yes well said! In society we lack ways to deal with wicked problems. The kind where there is no one single solution. It is a given that special interest groups apply their lobbying and propaganda powers to influence public opinion. And that #activism for the good cause and against malign actors lacks ways to spark a large mass of people into coordinated #resistance and onto pathways towards #solutions. The call of the #activist is for #awareness and #participation, but that all too often requires 'sacrifice'. Often harsh moral judgment is given to those who contribute insufficiently in the eyes of the activist. As result the activist does not win people over, and activism may even backfire.

Social experience design, while focused on tech foundations first, is a generic solution development methodology aimed at ability to affect societal impact and solve wicked problems. It defines #CALMculture as a way to organize activism in a commons.
