Workshop Check-In - A quick workshop note about trolls
Workshop Check-In Time — good to have everyone here.
Alright, quick sidebar note before we get back to the fun stuff. I think this is important.
Since we’re posting real experimental work in public forums like YouTube, we tend to attract the standard (but troublesome) internet background noise. That’s completely normal, and it happens anywhere people are making progress instead of just talking about it.
So to clarify, there’s a difference between criticism and disruption.
Criticism is always welcome here. If someone has a thoughtful suggestion, a test idea, or a technical challenge, that’s part of the process. That’s how we make progress, and sharpen the work.
Disruption is different. It’s the pattern where no result is ever accepted, the goalposts keep moving, new “requirements” appear every time something is demonstrated, and eventually it drifts into personal jabs. At that point it’s not about the experiment anymore — it’s about attention through disruption.
This workshop isn’t a stage for that.
We’re here to design and build, test and document, and come together to learn. The pace of the work is set by the work at hand, not by whoever shouts the loudest in a comment thread. Nobody here owes the internet trolls an endless series of hoops to jump through.
If a comment helps move the project forward, great — I appreciate it.If it’s just trying to derail momentum, I cannot afford the time and energy to feed it.
Part of protecting a creative space like this Workshop is refusing to let it get dragged into arguments that don’t produce results. I want this group focused, collaborative, and comfortable sharing unfinished ideas without feeling like they’re stepping into a boxing ring.
The people who are here to learn and contribute are the ones this workshop is built for. When trolls keep it up, be professional, be kind (if possible), and walk away from the “no-win” situation they try to pull us into.
In a nutshell, we are here for each other to be safe, to make progress, and to have fun.
Alright — that’s it. Back to building. And if you need anything, let me know.
