I dunno. I just feel less like I'm experiencing a fun new tool for communication the last few weeks. The communities here on Beehaw are still great and fantastic and aren't what I'm bothered by. It's just when I venture out in the world (which I often do) that I notice conversations are much more argumentative than I remember them being.

How's everyone else doing? Is this a minor vibez check?

It seems to be both common wisdom and substantiated by some studies I've heard of ... bad apples really do ruin the bunch ... toxic behaviours infect and corrupt.

I think if we care, admitting that we can go too far ourselves (as you did, and as I'll admit myself too) and then trying to be vigilant in maintaining a culture are the best we can do.

Calling out rude behavior might be a way for us to help govern the kind of behavior we want.
