Even if, say, 5% of people reacted to your reply, it'd still be doing more harm than good because more people would read it as criticism than would change their behaviour to become more conducive to the general good
I think going around do that is likely to be bad for general wellbeing because it's prone to be misinterpreted, people frequently tend to view taking the time to express the opinion that a behaviour is worse than an alternative as a sign of disapproval
I thought you thought you were enforcing local community norms because that seemed like the most likely rationale for criticising me for not being relaxing enough
I think enforcing norms this specific is almost certainly going to do more to hurt the average person's experience than the help it. A hospitable social space needs a reasonable range of accepted behaviours because personalities vary quite a lot
What I don't get is, like, if you get involved in politics I'd think that's probably because you're passionate about ideological causes and more generally about changing things to improve lives? Yet governance ends up producing these comically small-c conservative policies regarding development
I mean I'm at least making a general statement about the mental states of many people with very heterogenous mental states, but often I think you have to be willing to do that type of thing to produce interesting thoughts
I feel like everyone would rather use their bios to have fun with friends because introducing yourself is uncomfortable and feels self-important, but also it is a thing that people want to do, so you get a tension which everyone addresses in their own way
