💯 Write software for online spaces where people can be safe!

Though I have a slight issue with 'users', and feel that with that terminology you already lose the first round, esp. in social networking.

"The farmer protects the hens against the fox by building a fence around them". A single word puts so much distance between people.

To all the devs who still use "users" as common terminology. They are not your users. They are not junkies where you can just push your warez down their throat. People are checking your software out, for a whole host of different reasons. To see if your solution serves their needs. They are rich individuals with countless human traits, interests and dreams. By using the term you detach yourself emotionally. Don't other them as users. It has an alienating effect, in a time where we need to unite.
