⚓️️ Architecting Ethical Communication: A Case Study in Toxicity. (7 pt. thread)
As a Systemic Integrity Architect, I often audit communication protocols. Recently, a community poll surfaced a perfect example of what NOT to do when offering feedback.
The Goal is Collaboration; the Poison is Condescension.
🚫 What NOT To Do (Unprofessional & Toxic):
Using ageist insults instead of objective analysis, like: "In French, Fedeo sounds like a company rebranded 20 years by Boomer marketers."
Why This Fails Collaboration:
This tone attacks the person/group, not the idea. Its goal is intellectual domination and dismissal, not constructive improvement. It immediately derails any chance for genuine engagement or suggestion.
My rule of thumb for collaboration: If your goal is only to sound smart, don't hit send.
We champion Structured Empathy here. We need systems that are strong enough to protect us from this kind of toxicity.
Boost this if you agree that kind communication is the highest form of system integrity.
