   @Aslanmane I'm not sure, but I think it's a social media thing for sure. But I agree. On social media people tend to take things way too seriously. If I have a deep relationship or friendship with someone who knows me well, as I would know them, then mutual consideration of hurtful topics is absolutely a necessity. Here we are sharing our own stuff, to groups of people, not to a single person - we can't be expected to know everyone's hot buttons or sensitivities, and for anyone to expect us to is silly - it isn't about one person, it's about what we're sharing, and to whom - a "crowd". If I'm going to make an issue of my feelings in that situation it is inconsiderate to the one who is sharing their feelings, since it isn't about me; I just shrug, mute, and move on when someone cares enough to share something that is good for them but not for me.

     something I'm noticing in some (a minority) is a treating of social interactions like a tactical game. 'I'm going to block you if X' or 'I don't boost posts that don't Y'.
     Feels like treat people as a means to an end. I don't like it. Imago Dei.
     Is this a #twitter thing?
