In most dystopian sci-fi this usually ends in war rather than coexistence... there will be some means of identifying the other, and gangs will go hunting. We're on edge enough with each other, just wait till there's a proxy for our mutant/alien/zombie/skynet primal fear to project onto and act out.
Nostrbation.

It bothers me that by reacting to what 'they' did, I end up cheering for what 'they' are about to do.
Problem reaction solution?
Or problem, reaction, counter reaction (you are here), solution?
Meaning those who could pose a problem are duped into thinking they're winning, while the NPC's will accept whatever they're given anyway.
Sorry, then I missed the original context 🫂
Patience is a virtue.
In Prison Island UK, we're not allowed to touch our pension funds, only to propose which products we'd like them invested in.
For that reason alone I'm eagerly waiting the debut of Bitcoin ETNs (similar to ETFs) here so that my measley pension fund can get some abstracted and derivative exposure to Bitcoin.
Asking forgiveness is acknowledging the value of the person you hurt. It's why it bothers us when someone else hurts us and doesn't apologize. It's not the hurt itself but the demeaning that follows when an apology is held back.
Giving forgiveness is a good way of releasing ourselves from taking responsibility for others. It says that I don't need to be the person that teaches you a lesson, you will learn that in other ways and circumstances, but meanwhile I am getting on with my life.
You're right that hypocrisy, of which virtue signalling is part, is exposed as sinful behavior counter to the life in the Spirit. But the same Jesus who did that also taught us to forgive and to seek forgiveness. God alone forgives sin but we are to forgive trespasses (stepping on each other) and debt (where we withheld something like love or honor because we were mean spirited)
No I made the point that the RSS bot is useful to me, so that I can see updates without the need to go looking elsewhere. Means I don't need to leave this environment.
Whitney herself is doing excellent investigative journalism. That's her proof of work. We don't need to know each other for me to find that body of work valuable.
I don't get what you mean by marketing ploy.
Content doesn't become amazing just because it's transmitted as a note by relays.
Besides, with options to view follows, network, and global, it all becomes irrelevant. You curate lists, of which 'following' is just one.
It'll sort itself out.
