Comment on On 9/11 what was the internet like after it happened? Did people quit being dicks or trolls and showed some decency? Or was it like we have today and nothing changed?

From what I remember, just from small niche forums, most people were just too stunned about it to really be hateful. That’s not a big sample size but I don’t recall many people trying to be edgelords about it, everyone just seemed to read the room and just see that it was fucked up

  The question asked “on the internet” and I responded with my personal experience. Take it down a notch.

    I didn’t realize I was up any notches. Maybe it is you who needs to take your defensiveness down a notch.

Nothing to do with the internet; I was in elementary at the time and jokes we were joking about it within 2 weeks.
