I thought that was it. Yeah, Ada definitely defends her site with a level of zeal. She mellowed out as potential community issues dwindled, but was contemporaneously doing what beehaw hoped to do. Building a safe space in a semi-open system.

If someone wants to make up pronouns and act like a goof, they’re protected under the same system by design. Questioning is perceived as an attack in a safe space. Fundamentally, she wants everyone at blahaj to feel 200% safe. Real? Fake? Not anyone’s business. Just be and allow others to be.

Finally making my way to my point, most people don’t need to be in a safe space. Pointing out that someone’s manner of being isn’t conducive to the perpetuation of a safe space is really not much of a takedown and I’m not sure why the user above feels like it is.
