When you see outrage in response to matters like codes of conduct, think of an imaginary box. The extents of this box define the limits of socially acceptable expression. If any expression falls outside of the box, the response is outrage. Examples that fall outside of the box could be things like using a company email address for certain kinds of speech, or citing behaviors external to a community in making a conduct-related decision.

Enlightenment comes when you realize that the box is tailor-made to be slightly smaller than every situation.

The purpose of the outrage is to shrink the box for the next crisis.

sundew,

@drewdevault What you're describing here sounds similar to the Overton window:

@sundew indeed, more specifically I am talking about a strategy for moving it to the right
