   Something I find fascinating is the way in which awful people seem to instinctively know how to be awful.

   So like abusers tend to follow particular and predictable patterns for manipulating their victims. Groomers have these strategies for grooming. Fascists come to power in similar ways to each other. Con artists win their victims’ trust in ways remarkably similar to each other.

   Do they all go to some evil villain school to learn these techniques? Or are some people just legitimately born with these instincts? I’m somewhere on the spectrum and I struggle to intuit basic social interactions, much less routinely manipulate them to my advantage.

   How does that work?!

   It is hard to avoid much of the latest dramas in social media and the fedi.

   What we will say is we are so amazed for the community that has formed to lift up RFF and each other.

   Do we put energy into promoting each other? YES.

   Does that equate to or need the vices, traps and negative fogs of clout cannon influencer culture and independent anti-artist walled gardens? NO!

   This is what the fedi and RFF is to us and we are so happy so many of you have come along for the ride.
