Please don't be generically dismissive in response to new work. There's a reflex to do this, and we all have it, but we need to inhibit it here.

this feels like the opposite of safe-space talk, actually - people who are considering this are actively finding their own spaces (vs. asking existing spaces to consider their needs).

Hello, team member here. Actually, it doesn't reek of safe spaces - it smells beautifully of controlled spaces.

Select the world button on your conversations page, and there's no filtering at all. That's not a safe space!
