It's an echo chamber. People do not hurt each other in an echo chamber, they suppress dissenting voices. Reddit is the best tool ever developed to kill discussions and make people selfish dbags.
When someone asks about something people do not even upvote, thank or write a comment thanking the participating people. The single most important counter is missing: the reciprocal counter. If you post a question and do not participate, just read the answers, then you should pay the price and this must be shown. Also, bots are not filtered at all...
It's a cesspool. The sooner this mudpit gets drained, the better.
- keepamovin 3y agoYeah there's suppression, but there's also hurting each other. They can be different things. They can also overlap. But at a fundamental human level, it's about the hurt that people cause to each other. That emotional pain is less abstract than saying "suppressing dissenting voices" which is more of like an information warfare lens, where people are combatants and there's no moral right or wrong. I think it's important to emphasize the morality and emotional pain to frame this discussion usefully. But yeah, on everything else, agree! Haha :)
- mnky9800n 3y agoi think OP is talking about actual instances of when redditors hurt other people, like when they harassed the person they all decided was the boston marathon bomber but it was just some random guy.
- keepamovin 3y agoAh, yeah, but not just that. Just the average stuff, like say someone's comment being mean to me. Like, someone choosing: "How can I hurt this person? Let me say something to hurt them." There's so much.
