Lmao. It's true. This is why I don't have identifiable social media and don't use it even anonymously except for limited purposes. Cyberdisinhibitionism is strongest when there are no repercussions to poor behavior, too much anonymity, flame/troll/instigators/touchy comments, and no manifestation of the person on the receiving-end. It's basically a sewer factory factory with a teaspoon of sugar sprinkled-in. I think it proves that either most people are disengaged and/or the most vocal people are the worst. (Proving your point). Maybe there should be a cost to post that increases proportional to increasing frequency too.
The irony is, translating to IRL, I apparently discovered I have this semi-employed, "macho" no-shirt neighbor who accused me of being racist for asking if they had an entrance keyfob to prevent tailgating into an access-controlled apartment building. Then they talked about all the (nonexistent) "cameras" around, began recording me (for what, I don't know), using racist slurs, and tried to start a physical fight (they're half my weight, like a yappy chihuahua). I'm wondering if they're schizophrenic and narcissistic, in addition to appearing like a victim-mentality crybully crybaby. My point is perhaps people are taking their online behaviors into the real world.
PS: You should've heard what Latinx gangbangers called me when I was a kid. I never got beaten-up because I was bigger than all of them, but I learned the finer points of swearing in Spanish. :) I understand the tall blade of grass gets clipped so I don't take any of it personally.
