   It has been proven repeatedly that platforms prioritizing growth over safety are toxic to everyone else who doesn't present as white, straight, and a man.
   
   No, I'm not going to debate it anymore. No, I don't care if people think I'm wrong to center safety in my dev efforts because I can live with it going sideways if that happens.
   
   But in my experience as a dev and a citizen of the web for more than two decades, the missing link to rehumanizing social media spaces is safety for the most marginalized people that have historically been ignored.
   
   And I'm going to create around that ethos.

     I'm going to repeat this so it's clear.
     
     If the fedi fractures around the ideological lines of safety vs. unsustainable growth, I'm okay with that.
     
     I am very comfortable with being part of the fedi that actually gives a shit about people rather than treating them as product.
     
     I have no interest in repeating the same mistakes and creating decentralized rage engines.
     
     I believe this space can be better.

     pettter repeated this.
