Which of course happens similarly IRL, but it’s less cringe, as it’s just a passing verbal comment, not captured and displayed on the web for all eternity.

So much of what’s wrong with online communication is that many people speak to a public audience like they’d speak to a friend in private

You mean people getting offended because they misinterpret a friendly jab? Personally, I wish more people commented in a friendly manner. So many toxic comments out there 😬

Friendly is great, I don’t mean people shouldn’t joke around.

Not the commentor but the context clues of their comments leads me to think it’s because people talk without a filter, like they would their close friends in a private conversation.

Is it so bad to talk without a filter in a place where online community is encouraged?
