We have a long road ahead of us, we all knew this already. There’s no quick fix to this and the sooner everybody accepts that reality the quicker we’ll begin to progress. We have to do this thoroughly; a half-arsed, rushed attempt at discovering the disease’s pathology will not yield the results we want. We can do this right, or we can do it rushed. There’s no compromise.
There are, however, plenty of reasons to be hopeful and with collective work we can achieve a lot. If we can discover the pathology of the problem - which, with the right people on our side, seems doable - then we can afford to be optimistic.
Let’s keep chipping away and doing everything we can to aid the admins, the mods and the community. As has been mentioned, recruiting more survey participants is the number one priority for us all.
