I could joke out of this, but why the hell. Yeah, by my best account I will still be here afterwards also. And we could use this brief moment to make what comes next better than current prognosis of “nothing good, lad”
I think many people operate at an extremely basic level of moral reasoning. That is, if they get punished it’s bad otherwise it’s fine.
So if they post something bad and get upvotes and attention, that’s good. That’s it. That’s the extent of the reasoning.
So I do think if some people actually got punished in a meaningful way, they would (to an outside observer) appear to get better.
Hitting people in the face probably isn’t the best way to do it, most of the time. But I don’t think just telling someone “hey, that thing you did was hurtful for x y z”. They’re not listening. They don’t care. Hit them with a ban, maybe.
Some people are capable of more complex reasoning and realize other people have thoughts and feelings, and take that into account. But some people, that’s not their default.

Where the fuck do you think the problem started???
The Internet would be a better place if you could get popped in the jaw every once in a while for saying stupid shit.
we need less violence in the world not more
Or more violence directed at those who deserve it. Will make things more bearable for a brief moment
well you won’t be here for only a brief moment, i assume?

Yup. I am having hard time (decades already) facing this reality. It is ugly as hell (any hell, for that matter)
What do you think is on the other side of the screen?
Usually, a horse. Or an FBI agent.

Do you think online is magically separated from the world?
The problem is the algorithm and its masters, but you aren’t fucking helping.

You’re specifically saying that you offer that
It’s It’s the one where you can get punched in the face, anywhere you have something to lose is declared a safe space.
Which suggests you’re just a vicious petty little coward who wishes they could be a tyrant; theres a word for that i can’t super remember right now.

You’re not doing anything to anchor your insults in who i am, so they mean nothing. It’s just an expression of impotent rage.
