I know what it is. It is a virtual civilization populated by people, the worst species ever known to exist. And it is in this virtual civilization where people reveal their true colors, because there is no punishment for doing so. So here, you see the real identity of humanity. The real people who are underneath the facades of the people you interact with in real life.
And it's clear that the people, as they really are, are all despicable and horrible inside.
thanks for the pep talk, coach, but you're not my coach and i didn't ask for any coaching. i know what i'm dealing with. i've probably been on the internet longer than you've been alive, so i've watched the internet go from a fairly healthy place to just pile after pile of shit everywhere people interact with each other online. i've watched more and more people show up solely so they can be themselves, and more and more places appear solely for people to be unreastrainable asses to each other.
That’s interesting because I feel the exact opposite. I know plenty of people that would say something like “smol pp” in real life, but then come to HN and comment like neutered 50 year old wannabe philosophers.
There is no humor allowed on this platform; real life is much more colorful and fun.
