Jun 7, 2026, 6:26 AM@jens I mean I get that, but I'd thought (incorrectly) that the grief processing would be separate from court. I was surprised by how quickly my transgressions were frozen in place despite supposedly being a problem; like I didn't even know that was a thing they did. Just immediately collapsed into court, seemingly over how I was processing.

@vex Yeah. What I mean is that groups where this court thing happens don't tend to know safe spaces.

@jens ok now you're giving me self doubt again, because they've done a particularly good job of keeping the community safe.

@vex Safe from its own members?
I mean, things are complex when fear and reasons to fear come into play. But there is also such a thing as "too much".
I used to moderate a safe space for vegans (TL;DR), and quickly found out that the biggest danger to the safety of the members weren't trolling meat eaters, but animal liberation front supporters.
"You don't attack anyone here, or you're out" is the moderation rule for safe spaces. Most anything up to that is OK.
Court attacks your own.
