@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz @evan@cosocial.ca @cwebber@social.coop @Mastodon@mastodon.social You are German? This absolutely must not be a barrier to participating in SocialCG/WG. Born Italian, moved in Germany. But I think is more about being a little , like most people in IT since 30 years, inside some kind of spectrum. I crave for clarity, i NEED clarity, and quite often, english does not sound as clear as I wish. Which is frustrating. Italian is logic, little context based. German is tremendously context based, but at least is taxonomic, meaning precise. English to me sounds like someone is trying to sell me things, rephrasing things instead to aim at the point. Plus, some people is not easier than me to communicate with, take by example "Lain", the creator of pleroma. Putting me and him/her in some elevator is a perfect definition of blasting compound, I guess. Even if you don't feel comfortable speaking in voice meetings, Well, in real life I'm masquerading pretty well, since I did all the "soft skill" trainings available in my company. So I participate to meetings, sure. And sound very professional. The issue is, I don't like it at all. And people here in Germany calls me "Der Musolini", because of quite a stubborn personality. So masquerading it doesn't work 100%, so to say. I repeat. The germans. Germans. Call . Me . Stubborn. Got it? But let's go to the point: I don't think is necessary to participate , in order to make a criticism. I mean, what would be my contribution? Asking for precision every time, or repeating "a standard must be precise"? Isn't very, very little? Isn't OBVIOUS?
