   You can tell who is still accustomed to Corporate Social Media by their reactionary antagonistic approach to a dialogue.

   It resembles the culture in PvP first person shooters moreso than the culture of PvE coop games.

     @hannu_ikonen My big thing is why people insist on responding to things they don't agree with, or typically understand, so aggressively.

     Like, on Twitter, that kind of engagement had built in rewards, but out here literally nobody can see you screaming at people because you're big mad about their posts.

     I don't care either way, I almost never hit reply to tell someone they're a dumbass; only when I think they're reasonable and just mistaken, or what they're saying is ACTIVELY dangerous.

     @AnarchoNinaWrites I like your approach generally of depersonalizing an adversarial reply in a separate message & just calling out the strawman substance itself/addressing it if indicated

     Defuses yet continues a dialogue if one needs to be addressed.

     @hannu_ikonen Took me a while to figure out that was the only way I'd survive out here; but yes, thanks for noticing lol :)
