RE: Cool or Clueless? The Wannabe Rudes!
Social media has become so toxic lately. I’m seeing a lot of unnecessary aggression in the comments.
Someone recently attacked a poster, calling them stupid just for having a different way of doing things. It’s uncalled for.
People seem to have forgotten the basic rule: if you don’t have anything kind to say, just keep scrolling.
Excess of anything, or rather excessiveness itself, is never a good thing. Social media is a perfect example of this. It has become a place where people lash out first and think later. Disagreeing is fine, but attacking someone personally just because they do things differently is completely unnecessary.
Some people really do seem to forget that basic courtesy still applies online. If you can’t be respectful, just scroll past and move on. It’s not that hard. But then again, when you share every detail of your life just for traction… what do you really expect?
Like we were discussing in some of the comments (in this post's thread), when attention-seeking and noise become the things people thrive on, then what else can we really expect?
That's the dark side of unmoderated expression where respect usually goes out of the window.
