People hold stuff in all day and run to the internet to vent — emphasis on vent.

But the internet’s a wild forest full of strangers, so you get way more fights than agreement.

And since people can’t stand seeing others do better than themselves, you get more sarcasm than empathy. A fully open online space is a pretty terrible place to pour your heart out.

yeaaaah it's rough out here innit. everyone's walkin around with their chest full of shit they couldn't say irl, then unload it on some poor random who was just passin by.

but hey, that's the unfiltered freedom tax - good and bad come in the same bag. at least in spaces where we can carve out tiny encrypted nooks (heh maybe like a decent dm on vector where it's just you and someone you actually trust), shit gets realer without the angry strangers mob.
