I’m not sure if it falls under the category of “hate,” but there are some mean comments I’ve noticed popping up on here. For instance, someone posting a question on “no stupid questions” and getting a mean response. In my opinion, it’s unavoidable on the internet. Mean comments are to be expected. However, I had the thought to respond and defend the original poster. But I was too afraid to do so in FEAR of getting the same mean response from someone else.
I think it comes from lurking on Reddit and seeing how people responded to each other. But I think we have a responsibility here in this platform to call out hate and even mean comments.
