Hi, Ivy Astrix here. I saw some of my work referenced here so figured I’d pop in and do an AMA. I did harm reduction at Vibecamp 1/2, and Vibegala 1/2. Happy to answer what I can as long as it doesn’t violate confidences or isn’t in service of personal grievances.

    ie the eventual safety team reach out included one of their ppl asking me to tell them what investigation vibecamp did, and i found out that they don’t tell ‘junior members’ of the safety team about past things

    yikes

    that feels/across as an intentional way to set that team up for future failure (and, at a guess, sets up a plausible excuse to yeet participants when they fuck up, combined with making things disappear)

      It’s possible but I think they just don’t know what they’re doing.

      I think for event organizers there’s a point at which you realize ‘this is beyond us’ and one of two things happens: you take some money from the nice to have pile and use it to make up that gap, or you learn at the expense of other people and I’ve never really been able to understand the decision process that leads to the latter.
