I first read this post last night after spending eight straight hours in a Teams meeting as part of my training to become a licensed mental health clinician. Even in a bit of a mentally depleted state, there was a few things about this post that concerned me.
While I understand zeal and enthusiasm for a project, I can see where the overall tone of this post might be interpreted as off-putting. All humans, and especially adults, prefer to be asked to participate with their time and energy, not told.
That said, as a person who volunteers in multiple in-person projects, I can also totally understand the frustration that is felt by the people who are constantly facilitating the whole thing (or feel like they do).
There are many of us who love the Leo-verse, appreciate what you all do, and are participating to the best of our abilities. I personally feel like if a project or idea is a good one, then no coercion is necessary for adoption. Hard work, yes, and I am not even against the Telegram raiding idea, it's just the first I have heard of it, and it comes off as a bit spammy. That doesn't mean I am against it, I just would have appreciated a bit more education, persuasion, and a little less of a Helldivers-level call to action.
You expressed the same thing I have in mind. Thank you!
