I think we are all overdue for a shot of positivity so thank you for this write up. Yes, we have a long way to go on the community side, the moderation and the technical sides but I'm happy for what we have and the progress since June and before.
I've done minor contributions (to the Jerboa app), some translations, posted stuff in 4 languages and donated some change where I can... we can always do better and although some are motivated by spite, I think also that a lot of people would enjoy it more if we can cultivate an atmosphere that's less miserable and full of unnecessary drama.
