AKA "Humans are toxic"


view as:

Humans absent an accountability structure are toxic.

Accountability structures are provided by real in person institutions that have standards. For example, nobody is spurting toxic speech at their fellow churchgoers, because there would be a personal price for that.

The anonymous Internet for better or worse removes much of the skin in the game for commenters, thereby incentivizing toxicity.
