Update 2/22/25: On Absence
A combination of intense workload and mental/emotional health concerns have kept me from editing since last summer.
I used to love Wikipedia (and still do, I figure), but it became a really unsafe place for me emotionally after encountering a bunch of very traumatizing, deeply saddening behavior.
I want to give this a shot again, but am really concerned that there aren't enough editors dedicated to keeping it a civil and pleasant space, no matter our differences.
I ran into "Old Fashioned Wikipedia Values" on another user's page the other week. Seeing this gave me a little bit of hope that this space may still have some of the innocence and good will it used to be widely known for.
To those stumbling upon this page, I hope you will consider making the pledge yourself, and paying it forward too. A little bit of kindness can truly go a long way.
