I am immensely sad that the situation around micro.blog has accelerated as far and as fast as it has. I’m disappointed that opportunities to de-escalate and resolve it have been missed. I’m gutted that people whose presence here I value have decided to move on.
I’m stepping away from the timeline for a wee while (although will probably be posting links and photos). I’ll let this long piece (posted elseblog, so as to not shove it too much into the face of the community here) about the broader issue of how we deal with problems online stand as my explanation of why.
