something in here about structurelessness (in the Jo Freeman sense) and how that interacts with bad people driving out good @mikeal/838119938636169216

it's not a new idea, that a few bad noisy actors can drive out all the good people (who don't enjoy fighting, so cede the ground)
-
well-defined & strongly enforced norms can help with that (tech industry doesn't want that) as does explicit leadership (rich founders, now)

often feels like i have friends in the tech underground, people who passed on big $$$ positions for community organizing and neat projects
