@stephen__clark @ellaguro I mean, it's tough, and you wanna help support everyone, and you believe anyone could be doing good work, and you wanna be supportive. but that can flatten down to only saying nice stuff/never giving good criticism.

@stephen__clark @ellaguro weirdly the thing with friends is the opposite of what I've experienced - with friends you know them well enough to know if they can take feedback usefully & it's worth the risk. so useful criticism only happens between friends.

@stephen__clark @ellaguro (and also there's the thing where surface level supportive aesthetics have very little to do with actual support, which is maybe even more to the point)
