@originlbookgirl @skinnylatte I don't think it's right or fair to completely separate online and offline realities. It's true that they are very different indeed and each of the major issues you've highlighted are a massive problem online, but there are exceptions, however rare they might be. (Admittedly all too rare.) Some people have legitimately made actual real friendships online. (Again admittedly all too rare. But not zero.)

I really believe it can happen. Maybe that's just wishful thinking, but I just think that it doesn't have to always be toxicity and vitriol. I truly believe there are some rare exceptions out there.

I've known a few people online I would have called genuine friends. I had to give up on the last one because of politics, not other things in fact.
