We all act like everyone else is a stranger and we’re alone in the “city” of the internet, but the actual dynamic plays out in a much more “townie” manner. We should act more like inhabitants of a small island where everyone knows each other.
Having literally been an inhabitant of a small island at one point in my life is the exact reason I have no active social media presence that is not pseudonymous. Life is different when you know you might suddenly be recognized by a stranger at the grocery store who saw your public comment on Facebook.
I think we’d be more civil to each other if more of us had that mindset, or any sense that our words reflect on us.
