> majority of users on the mainstream end of the spectrum demand protection from those users
This “demanding protection” is one of the root problems with online discourse today. I refuse to concede that words on a screen will ever be something anyone “needs protection” from (short of actual doxxing, stalking and IRL harassment).
Have people forgotten “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me?” A block/ignore button should be sufficient. We don’t need platforms editorializing or censoring content.
People seek out content that makes them angry (ragebait) and then blame the platforms for disseminating it.
Walk away from the screen. Close your eyes. [0]
