I witnessed an internet thread interaction this week that left me spinning a bit. Ordinarily, for better or worse, I’m fairly immune to the tomfoolery that is a comment thread. I think we’ve all witnessed the loss of humanity when people speak with their fingers behind screens as opposed to having real, nuanced conversations in person and it leaves some of us whose jobs kind of land us here in this internet world wondering if it’s possible to create a positive community. In short- it is. Possible. But it’s also very, very difficult. I’m almost always able to hold the tension, but because I read it on a platform that I’ve been published quite frequently on, it stayed with me. Long enough to address it here.
