Indeed. Much as I am warmed by his ability to own his error and make amends, I am even more heartened by the acceptance it earned. It seems so often these days that if someone blunders, they just get canceled. Most attempts at apology get written off as fake, canned, or as a politician's "non-apology."
This error deserved a path to redemption and the coach took it. Nice to see that, and to see it allowed to work.
@georgetakei I’m constantly surprised that articles continue to embed Xitter posts, as if that’s the only source of community comment, or that they have the funniest/sharpest/most entertaining commenters. Are reporters not reading Mastodon? Is the problem that Mastodon clients don’t make screen grabs easy? If our community is not helping redirect this, then we are responsible to a degree in perpetuating Xitter’s existence. By making it seem like the more vibrant destination.
