Great tool, by the way. I think it might actually work!

I started off with a highly toxic comment (in the window on the tool, not in "real life") and I tried to be just as insulting while lowering the toxicity level.

It was informative that when I did this, the sentence sounded more educated, more polished, but was just as rude.

If this spreads wide, I suspect it will usher in a new era of veiled insults and implied disfavor, but that will be a vast improvement over what we have today.




I think HN is basically already like this. It has its own set of problems, but I agree that it's an improvement.


You're sure passive aggression is a good idea? Personally, I'd prefer the direct insults to someone being passive aggressive.
