In #Flancia we'll meet

"People who don't like the [[Agora]]" and "people who don't get the Agora" are highly correlated I feel, but then again I'm biased -- I want to think if you get it you'll love it.

In practice there's surely a set of people who get the Agora but think it's trivial, or too clumsy, imperfect.

To those I say: welcome to the club! :) This is only an early implementation. We're here. But I think we can show the direction has potential!

Then there's maybe a set who sees the potential but doubts the intentions, finds it creepy on a level.

To those I say: that makes sense. The internet of 2010-2020 taught us to expect to be treated as products. I can only promise, and show, this is the opposite of our intentions.

@flancian if you don't like the agora and you understand the agora you're a fascist I feel like.

@vera haha, I know your heart is in the right place but I fear that might be taking it too far :)

Example: imagine someone who gets what we're trying to do but thinks that 1. there are better people out there who should run the project and 2. our running the project might increase the chances of these people *not* running a similar project for some reason.

That person could be reasonable (not a fascist) and still fulfill the stated conditions?

@flancian when i say agora i mean big A Agora

@vera you're way more likely to be right then :)
