I won’t say that’s wrong, but I look at it the other way around. I’m friendly on here because I want to create community. I know I recognize a lot of the same names every single day, and I’m sure they recognize mine as well. By being cordial to each other we create the community. No platform can create a community by itself, it’s up to the users to do that. Toxic people create a toxic community, nice people create a nice community.
So, my incentive for being friendly is to set the tone for my community. Even when I disagree with people, I try to make my points, and have a conversation instead of insulting people and yelling obscenities at them. Don’t get me wrong, if you come on here with some Nazi shit, I’d give you all the hell I can muster, because I don’t want those people to feel welcome here.
I have a feeling that your down votes are from other people who are friendly and just appreciate people being nice and don’t assume they are virtue signaling.
Excuse my phrasing, but I stand by what I wrote. Tried to keep it brief.
Online platforms today do not offer any incentive for true positive behaviour, due to lack of community.
By the way your response and all the downvoting kinda proves my point. Compassion shows also in how you process what you read
