"Toxic circlejerking environment" isn't something we should ignore. There is truth in what was said

None of it was news to anyone, though. Many of us are working on this to the degree that we feel it's important and that we have the ability to do so. Maybe it galvanizes somebody new to put some work into it, I don't know. Personally I think that while it's a good idea to include reducing that particular effect in any retention project spec if possible, it's not among the top five problems I'm looking to solve, except in the sense that it's part of the lack of a diverse class of powerful voters.
