Yeah, I had a longer bit that covered that I cut out. The virtuality of the interaction makes people less empathetic.
However it also caps the potential for harm, the worst case is doxxing and bullying. In real life the worst case is lynching.
You can also turn off the internet and be safe, in real life you better be able to run faster than they can.
This seems like a fantastic trade-off to me. Seriously, the worst parts of the internet are fucking toxic as hell. The worst parts of the real world involve war, sadism, slavery and torture.
Toxic online communities are basically the best human beings have ever acted when in groups that large.
