One of the greatest biggest problems with the Internet is not being able to take it outside. It's why people are so much more respectful when interacting in person.
I used to work doing phone support for a small local ISP. Customers would be total assholes on the phone, then when they came into the office and realized I was 6'3" 200lbs they got a lot nicer all of a sudden. They realized being an asshole may have consequences.

lol, one of the better parts of nostr is for now there are usually more people willing to think things out with you even from different perspectives
There’s another part of this human aspect that is interesting. People that served in the military had more fucked up ptsd when they were closer to the enemies they killed than the soldiers who killed from farther away. A lot of soldiers can’t even pull the trigger in combat because killing others is instinctively wrong. I think we evolved to be this way. So I think one reason why people are meaner on the phone is because it doesn’t feel like you’re talking to a human.

And it's even worse when it's text on a screen.
