Ah yes. There's no such thing as a safe party, which is why I always wear my stab vest and helmet to my mom's Thanksgiving dinner.
You might want to look up this thing called "civilization", where we've been creating safe spaces for the last 5,000 years. Maybe it's just a passing fad, but I'm hopeful for it.

If you look into history books or even recent news articles, you'll quickly find out that safety is a rare privilege. > You might want to look up this thing called "civilization" How about this thing called "inequality and oppression?"

The federated model, as implemented by Fediverse, turns out to be extremely vulnerable to bullies. (Kind of like a bunch of independent, friendly villages end up being vulnerable to a smart warlord. It's arguably a big part of what historically drove creation of countries and empires.)
