We need to keep elevating the folks who trend towards supportive and positive in the first place, and we need to continue to question our methods and be open to hearing feedback.

We can't let ego take over and feel like we know what it means to be supportive and positive just because we did okay so far.

We also may not want to keep growing and growing and getting more and more attention as a monolith. We want to enable more slightly private support spaces and also enable some smaller microcosm communities not entirely owned by us via our open source, while still allowing them to interact and be compatible with what we're doing. If we're greedy and try to own the everything instead of distributing the value and upside it could hurt our chances to continue the positivity like it is now.
