  • Can’t there be a website with a middle ground between 4th reich HQ and baby preschool?

    Sometimes it feels like the internet is in an unstable equilibrium. A space starts off as a blank slate, not pulled in any particular direction. Then as soon as it gets a critical mass of either miserable jerks or stuck-up prudes, it spirals in that direction until it’s inhospitable to the average person.


  • People do this for just about anything, unfortunately. Review bombing video games that compete with their favorite game, vandalizing things in the colors of the sports team that’s playing against their favorite team, and so on. From the most insignificant internet fandom squabble to genocide. Our brains love tribalism, and if we don’t have strong principles of cooperation and peace, it always seems to crop up.
