Absolutely. My unsolicited advice is to proceed with caution. I was there, many years ago, when the Internet changed from University access to a flood of the public. It has become known as the 'Eternal September'.
From most person's experience, during that transition, we all knew each other in real life. There wasn't anonymity.
And, all of a sudden, there was anonymity. Thus, people could just say anything that they wanted without consequences.
Fast forward to now, and it's a complete shit show. Where do we turn?
