I think this is a good question, and Iām interested to see more peopleās answers.
One perhaps obvious point is that I think it depends to a substantial extent on how many people/āorganisations are mentioned in a similar way in a similar place at the same time, since that affects how much people are or feel āsingled outā. E.g., if you published a post with an unusually candid/ādetailed evaluation of 20 people/āorgs, this could indeed create some degree of harm/ādiscomfort/āangerābut if you publish the same post with only 1 of those evaluations (randomly selected), that would increase the chance that that person/āorg 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/āorg is the same in both instances.
(Your linked post avoided that issue because the evaluations you published werenāt randomly selected but rather were ones that were less likely that average to cause issues when published.)
