So much negativity and schadenfreude here regarding the situation at #BurningMan. Kind of sad and not what I’ve come to expect in the Fediverse compared to the other place.
The tech bro crowd is viewed as a scourge by many of us who have worked our asses off at Burning Man over the years to build something for the community during the event.
But even within my own camp over the years, the shift in attitudes was palpable. You started seeing more takers. More trash. More “fuck y’all I’m here to party” types. We started having to balance between welcoming “radical inclusion” and keeping our camp family sane.
Still, that wasn’t most of the people I encountered in Black Rock City.
The crew I know who are there now say things are pretty ok despite the sensational headlines. I just hope things can dry out so everyone can clean up and go home.
