Watching Jay, I realize I am simply exhausted by folks in positions of leadership who are driven to distraction by critique.

I was Bluesky user #308, and have been a major booster of this platform since the beginning, but I'm starting to think that the skeptics were right.

It isn't too late to fix things, but I'm doubtful the team will take this excellent advice from @brunodias.bsky.social to heart:

As your new Head of Comms I advise you to please stop posting this shit.

Link is a true posters poster. Bad food takes, big heart, unique special employment expertise, charity to others. He isn't perfect. I mean he is an Arsenal fan. But he is the exact kind of poster who makes a social media site grow and blossom.
