I think this is a good question, and I’m interested to see more people’s answers.
One perhaps obvious point is that I think it depends to a substantial extent on how many people/organisations are mentioned in a similar way in a similar place at the same time, since that affects how much people are or feel “singled out”. E.g., if you published a post with an unusually candid/detailed evaluation of 20 people/orgs, this could indeed create some degree of harm/discomfort/anger—but if you publish the same post with only 1 of those evaluations (randomly selected), that would increase the chance that that person/org is harmed, made uncomfortable, or made angry. It makes it harder for them to hide in the crowd and makes the post look more like a hit piece, even if what you say about that person/org is the same in both instances.
(Your linked post avoided that issue because the evaluations you published weren’t randomly selected but rather were ones that were less likely that average to cause issues when published.)
