You people are what I am talking about when I explain to people that, no, online conversations can be positive and non-scary. You just need reasonable, inclusive social norms and exploration of differences and common interests and people actually moderating things and well-written technological support for those things ... you know, all the work people want everyone ELSE to put into their social spaces. Oh, and not demonizing useful things because a distorted snapshot of one aspect of them has escaped into the mentality of the general public (e.g. content warnings). People can actually care about talking to each other and telling good stories. Wow. Newsflash, straight from the prehistoric campfire, now on your glowy hypnotic screen of choice.
