This is a pretty cynical post, but I'm not going to downvote/report it.

I actually really like the guidelines of this site. @dang and the other administrators do a good job at keeping the conversation mostly civil and the guidelines are great principles and rules to aim for that end.

Maybe if you assume bad faith of a post (anywhere on social media), it might be time to skip over it or take a break.

I'm listening to the RabbitHole podcast[1] right now which is a pretty interesting analysis by the NYTimes of how social media / online content fuels impactful psycho/social impact on participants. I hope you find it interesting.
