Well, you can put the blame on the sender. But I think that everyone is allowed to have an opinion and voice it.
Maybe the receiving end needs to learn and distinguish between "important feedback" and "just ignore it". We should stop treating everyone's little issue as top-notch priority.
- papito 5y agoAnyone can still voice their opinion. In most parts of the world, either to a neighbor or go out on the street, write a sign, have at it. The world is not better off by letting everyone broadcast their opinion to BILLIONS of people.
- rdiddly 5y agoThat would help. Although there's some cognitive load involved, and the question for me is "What's the upside?" I suppose I've done exactly what you're suggesting, but I've drawn the line at social media itself. Because "everyone's little issue" is 100% what it contains and transmits, whether it's something personal or a shared news story. I have deprioritized all of it. Even Hacker News, where my participation is much less lately.
