Yesterday I was on here all day and I only saw two people being assholes. It was incredible.
I wrote a reply to draw one of them out then shut them down but my girlfriend pointed out that maybe I should just let this happy fun thing be a happy fun thing.
How much responsibility to I have as an internet individual to call out assholes when they're already outnumbered? I still always want to Do What's Right

@Puck absolutely no responsibility, imo. You don't owe jerks a moment of your time or brainpower

@nightpool I've sort of recovered from thinking that I owe jerks something (unless it's tangled in my meatspace emotional guiltweb) BUT I want to stand up for others

@Puck I don't think engaging with random jerks on the internet generally has good effects as far as standing up for others though. for me, it just puts more depressing content on my feed.

I think it's more important to build inclusive, welcoming spaces, and then to make sure people within those spaces are treating each other well.
