>I deeply failed as an ally during the unionization era at Gimlet,” he wrote. “I did not intend to stop the unionization effort, and I am very glad it succeeded … I’m not done working, but I don’t think anyone needs me taking up space right now.

This reads like a forced apology from someone who was bullied into submission by ideologues. I think language like "ally" and "taking up space" is toxic because it implies that non-minorities are forbidden from dissent and participation.
