Indeed! Hope you had a chance to be nice today too

Absolutely, and I’m happy to hear you see it that way too. Online platforms don’t really incentivize that though. That’s just my lukewarm take on that

Of course there is incentive for online virtue signaling - all the likes and shares and attention.

Ok well maybe there is a very very tiny incentive (compared to real world behaviour) but it really pales in comparison to all the general cold-heartedness

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

I think you missed the point completely. What I meant is people are busy sending thoughts and prayers to war & disaster victims but fail to show true compassion when someone online is going through a difficult time or otherwise misguided

What does it say about me? I don’t think online culture promotes compassion, although I think it’s the main value in human existence

There’s no incentive for showing compassion online, apart from virtue signaling

Well that’s fucking fantastic

That’s for up to 4 persons

Yawn…

The country definitely has some big problems, since a long while

sim-cards

Maybe also throw a barbeque on the white house lawn and sell those Trump steaks fresh out of the grill

Yeah it’s gonna trickle down like that

Be water my friend

Is that still the case though? I can only find articles from 2024 about this

I can’t find anything from the article warranting this headline.
