A few months back I was watching a Youtube video and while I was on there I like to read the comments people leave, I was just about to leave a comment when I stumbled over a girl who had commented about losing a loved one, then under her comment there was other comments of people dissing her for her comment.
She tried to stand up for herself but got dragged down, i couldn't help but place a comment on there, not attacking the haters but telling this girl that life is amazing and she has so much to look forward to, and some day it will get a little easier.
I got slated for it, but you know something they don't know me, and they wouldn't say it to my face as most of the hater hide behind a keyboard and think they can post whatever they want.
nice post @coruscate it shows that there can be positivity from a negative. x
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
ahh good for you to stand up and leave that poor girl a word of encouragement. Your right, it's the anonymity that people hide behind. They would never say something like that to your face... but online when no one knows you? Ugh... so messed up.
Maybe that is one more way that Steemit helps to discourage that kind of behavior. Even though someone could say hateful/trolling comments... there would be damage done to their reputation. Someone's reputation is visible to all here - where on YouTube, they really can stay anonymous.
I love steemits way for reputation, I think its one of its best features and if youtube was to do something like that it would help alot.
But lets get on to facebook. these people are idiots on there, they don't seem to care that their name face and details are there for everyone too see. it makes me wonder what these people think.
Yeah... it's a little crazy in Facebookland! I do think a lot of people are losing faith in them after the recent security breaches. Even though they are trying to backtrack... it seems like the damage is done.
I hate facebook, I do have an account, but the way I see it is why would I want to connect with people who I hated when i was at school.
All the drama and then they want to add you as a friend. I had 460 friends on there, I started to delete them and I'm down to about 160 and these are true friends and family.
