Feel this way about Fediverse collaboration too:
"I find hope in the ‘we’s’ of my life...But of course, collaboration doesn’t mean never disagreeing, it means *often* disagreeing - hopefully in respectful & empathetic but still passionate ways.
Because when lots of people are trying to find the best way through, within that ‘lots of people’ will always be divergent value systems and and perspectives and everything else.
And that is not just OK, that is essential."
@tchambers I think you're hitting the nail on the head here, I remember going to artschool and becoming deeply enamored with the critique process. This is frankly missing from most workplaces/community interactions in general.
People don't realize how valuable it is, and if you do have that in your life, cherish it by practicing it as much as possible.
