I find it emotionally draining when heated topics become battlegrounds for social proofing through mass use of agreement vote/ākarma. It makes me feel like people are trying to manipulate me by illegitimate means and Iām a target of aggression. I donāt have any good solutions here but I wanted to offer feedback on my experience.
by illegitimate means and Iām a target of aggression
Can you give example of that? Not saying you are not right, but not sure I can easily picture what falls into these categories. Pls ignore if this would drain you more.
You should be familiar with this from activism, people use ālikeās and mass comments in social media to make bystanders more likely to believe in an idea or have certain attitudes just through social proof effect. I feel a similar vibe with discussions under heated posts.
