I have come to learn that the only good forum for sharing creative professional advice is a private forum run by thoughtful people who swiftly and directly intercede when participants with bad faith engagement emerge.

I keep thinking about the discourse from the other day suggesting writers are gatekeeping writing information for ourselves and I just think back to 2019 when every writer was out there giving away writing advice until one by one each stopped because social media blows and we can't have nice things.

Also! If the response is swift and reasonable, many of the bad faith participants will adjust to engage with good faith rather than be banned from the forum! Very few people are actively trying to be toxic.
