#6But naive in a way that most people (?) would like the world to be.
But ultimately, unfortunately, unrealistic.
Building has always been the kind of difficult that, had you known at the beginning then maybe you wouldn't have started. And still quickly and easily destroyed.
Keep creating and building, otherwise there's nothing else to do. Love the obstacles for challenge of defeating them, don't hate them for their existence. To build X you often have to build A, B, and C (and sometimes all the rest of the alphabet) just to have the right setup to maximise the success of X. It can grind, but focus on the benefits of X.
Which sounds like the position they've taken, thankfully.
(Where X represents "anything" and is specifically not the platform formally known as Twitter).
The melancholy will return, just ride it out each time. It gets easier, gradually.

#7Why would someone try to hurt this guy? This site is great.
That's something I like to keep in mind, when I'm reacting to someone being ... less than friendly ... By reacting badly, I then make it all right for them to justify doing it again, to someone else. I've found that I can defend myself, without becoming a foaming-at-the-mouth maniac. We can enforce our boundaries with water pistols, most of the time. We don't need nukes.
Everything is connected. This chap may be naive, but he's actually trying to set good connections in motion. I applaud that.

I have found that there are people who just want to watch the world burn. There are many reasons, but, at its most basic, hurt people hurt people. That's something I like to keep in mind, when I'm reacting to someone being ... less than friendly ... By reacting badly, I then make it all right for them to justify doing it again, to someone else.

It takes real effort to do that in a positive way with a society built around surfacing negativity.
