@ krisnova Thank you for coming into "the lions den" and showing good faith @esther@strangeobject.space. | want to start by acknowledging your courage right now. You didn't have to do this, and | know this did not come for free and without burden. Sincerely, thank you. | also want to say that | have read what | consider to be "every word" you have written about me. Your words have hurt me and my family more than | can say. Sincerely, your words and actions have been the source of many tears in my family. Nivenly, and thus Hachyderm, is a collective of individuals who share a common belief of a safe community for people who chose to pursue employment in tech. To be honest, most of us, hate the industry and until now we didn't have a safe space to catharticaly share our experiences with each other. My ask to you would be to take my actions as a clear sign that me, @dma, or any of our moderators or admins are not "Hachyderm" and are not "Nivenly". Each of us has an independent opinion, and each of us is entitled to it despite how write or wrong it may be. | have made the decision to leave the fediverse, and | stand by my decision. Candidly - - | don't think the Fediverse has been around long enough at this time to distinguish between an organization and a single person's personal view on a topic. Hachyderm doesn't have opinions or political or economical views. Our people do. Our organizational policies were turned around and inflated back against the people, candidly, me.
