I’ve modded here in the past on other accounts and a few other leftist places as well. The way I think about it is that people have relationships to these spaces that are similar to parasocial relationships but not quite. It is possible to get to know individuals in digital spaces in the same way as real life, usually through DMs. But for the most part, we create a gestalt of the community in our heads the represents the community like a single entity and we interact with that instead. And the community as a single agent doesn’t exist and therefore can’t interact back. It’s just a bunch of individuals treating you as a part of their own mental version of the community. So they act like they know everyone significantly better than they do. Because they know the community. But what is happening more often than not is that strangers or acquaintances are squabbling like close family.
And of course I don’t mean to diminish the specifics of what you’re saying. We can talk about the specifics of the morality of any particular issue. That’s normally as far as it goes. But the broader dynamic is always left alone because at the end of the day, the sense of community feels nice and deconstructing how it’s not a replacement for actual belonging just kinda sucks.
