I hope Bluesky actually helps the path to that healing. I've vented endlessly on Twitter (while shadowbanned apparently) about how we need to abandon abuse/mean culture, especially in twitch/youtube chat. I've seen too many people stop streaming or take long breaks because the abuse got too bad.
Be the change you want to see in the world, if enough people do that. Then it’ll wash away the haters. Some people are just absolutely miserable, and you all know the saying about company from Missouri… something like that.
As someone who dealt with SJWs who got offended over my opinions on certain things and a particular case where one of these SJWs silence my criticism on one site and then went the extra mile to stalk my own twitter to gaslight me, this couldn't be further from the truth.
Its just easy to be mean to people online especially when people are able to be anonymous with their hatred, surrounded with a community that share a similar hatred, and a lot of them have no type of consequences.
For everyone who’s online and is actually nice to people? You guys deserve the world.
It's a good thing to hope for....tho, as someone who was around before the internet was popular, I'm pretty sure they were already pretty comfy being mean. T_T
There will always be bullies and cruelness, but I am so happy to have at least once place where we have the tools to cultivate our environment to shove out those mean people who would try to invade our spaces. 🙏 In the end we at least have choice, and to heal we first have to help make changes. 💙
Yeah and its too easy for them to leave with no punishment at all, they feel too safe to ruin lives just because theyre behind a screen and not in front of someone
But well thats how many people grow up to be, denying their flaws instead of learning of them to improve as a person
Me too. People who do that cause nothing but harm. Some may even underestimate the impact of being mean, like it's supposed to be a joke. Unfortunately, it can do more harm than the aggressor may intend.
It honestly baffles me how much people can be so mean and cruel to others. One would think both how much we were taught and told to be kind, nice, and welcoming to each other when we were younger there would not be this much hate.

But I'm also a quiet person so I don't like too much talking with strangers ^^"

But the essence of people being too comfortable in social media without any real life repercussions still holds true.

Don-t get deluded
Spread kindness so that the negativity is washed away by positivity.
