I'll go out on a limb and say it's not entirely the specific medium's fault. It's the people.
It did not used to be this bad with the exception of 4chan (of course), and the state of discourse in life has degraded so far, we even see it at the highest levels of government. Every year that goes by I fear we're losing more and more of our common decency and appreciation for our shared humanity. I have seen families torn apart because of this.
I've started going out of my way to meet my neighbors and smile at strangers.
- boringg 4y agoOut of all the most heart breaking things that the internet you choose this example? Agenda much?
- fny 4y agoI deleted that because it colored what I said enough for you to miss my message. I have no agenda, but I think your comment proves my point that there's something off about how we're communicating right now.
- boringg 4y agoFair but I didn't miss what you wrote, you choose to explicitly choose an example that would get eyes rolling. Which, if I read your comment correctly, you accept the responsibility with "there's something off about how we're communicating right now". Inflammatory language get's more reaction - well documented and your probably aware of that.
- fny 4y agoI seriously was not attempting to be inflammatory or get a reaction. I was just expressing how I felt.
