What do people think of the idea that Farcaster might be *too polite*? Like, people love to rail against the toxicity of twitter, but ultimately it's a PvP MMORPG and lots of people really enjoy the PvP - if not participating, then at least seeing some fireworks in the background...

No. I’d rather people disagreeing intelligently than shitheads shitposting. When people craft online personae, everything they do becomes flat, vapid  reality tv. 
To me, the chemical makeup of the firework is far more interesting than the firework show itself.

“the chemical makeup is more interesting than the firework” yea ok bro

I see what you did there! But specifically, how incorporating copper into the mix produces blue is so interesting, how did someone discover that or even think to try it?

Maybe it is worth discerning between fireworks in the background vs hand grenades in the background. I like disagreement, not cruelty.

Agreed. I think it is a lot of people feeling repressed in their real life and dump their trauma on others online. Maybe people with an online persona see the internet as an RPG where every other human is an NPC.

Vitriol pays lower dividends than kindness… unfortunately, it’s easier to be a troll online through a veil of anonymity vs a jerk in person.
