Another place where visual diffs would be indispensable is file-system organization. Each node in a file tree contains another graphable data structure: permissions! Especially on network shares where user groups are more common.

As long as there's some structured record of changes made to permissions and structure, those can be visualized.

What springs to mind is the use of Mastodon handles for contributing trail info and discussion of information being contributed.

The only major hang-up is balancing privacy and trustworthiness of the information being contributed.

Perhaps an open solution like this will emerge as people grow tired of profit-driven services like Strava, AllTrails, TrailForks, etc.

"Communities of people with disabilities" sounds like a self-identified group whose members share common experiences of dealing with people without disabilities. "Immediately distilling it down to..." is an interesting way to describe someone sharing an example while making a broader point.

Whether something is insulting depends on the particular interaction and how the recipient of the 'help' feels about and perceives the attempt to help.

I've been learning the importance of consent in any intervention. Without consent, my attempts to help a person may be perceived as an act of taking control, overriding the other person's will.

> Both groups have problems, maybe just different ones.

So my problem might be a lack of perspective that is characteristic of privilege, and their problem might be me; sincerely, innocently & naively making their situation worse.
