OPEN LETTER TO @jon_d_doe
I've been thinking about this for a while, and I wanted to share my thoughts with you directly before taking a step back.
We've been mutuals for a long time. I've defended you on several occasions, supported your work, and stayed loyal even when things got tense. That's why it hurts to see the pattern of public call-outs and open disrespect you've shown toward mutuals including me. The last time you called me out publicly, I corrected you that day and reminded you that issues like that are better handled in the DMs. I still believe that approach builds healthier communities.
On that same day, I noticed @ekun_II faced similar treatment. It made me realize that if it can happen repeatedly to others, my own turn might not be far off. Rather than wait for that moment, I've decided to unfollow you (I've already done so by the time you read this). I'd appreciate it if you unfollowed me as well and block as your normal pattern.
No one here is envious of you, and nobody expects you to know it all. Positive criticism should always be welcome, it's how we all grow. But acting like you're lord over everyone, disrespecting people who have contributed to your growth, stayed loyal, and helped build your community isn't the way. I've watched you fall out with at least 10 mutuals that I know of, and I've chosen not to interfere or take sides in those situations. I usually stay quiet when mutuals have misunderstandings, but I can't ignore the consistent pattern anymore.
You've helped people grow their accounts and contributed meaningfully to society in the past, and I genuinely thank you for that. But helping others doesn't give anyone the right to treat them like subordinates or "dogs." We're all here as equals.
I also suspect the anonymity makes it easier to move this way. If there was a real face attached to the brand, I doubt the approach would be the same.
Pride seems to have overtaken the humility that once made you admirable. Because of this, I've lost the respect and admiration I once had, despite acknowledging the good you've done.
I wish you the best in your endeavors and continued success in whatever you build. Take care.
