…and do you think that you posting it has a positive, neutral or negative effect on the world?
By content I mean what ever you’re posting online. The pictures you post on Instagram/Pixelfed or messages you’re writing on Lemmy, YouTube comment section, Facebook and so on.
If you look back at what you have posted in the past year for example, do you consider it to be the kind of content that you would gladly consume if it was coming from someone else? If not, then why are you posting it in the first place?
Yes. Positive. It won’t be a big difference but everything matters in its own small way. Posts that piss off dozens of people can still have one person who loves your perspective. That one person can be you. Ignore the haters.
If it pisses off dozens of people but there’s one person loving it, wouldn’t it still be accurate to say that the effect is net-negative?
No because we ignore the haters.
Do you apply that logic to the people posting content that pisses you off as well?
Yes, ignore the ragebait.
Yeah, block and move on.
