The idea of posting as catharsis, release, & simple exposure to life is severely under-rated.<p>It can be dangerous that negative words have such potential to spread faster, such disproportionate capability to activate & draw upon our dark sides. Usually negative amplification reflects more on the person amplifying than the message. But in general, we don't really have meta-moderation tools, even in the fediverse, to de-amplify or to warn/counter/resist the dark side.<p>Being able to get some mild exposure to the "TIL" of each other, to see some of the random encounters of the day is extremely high value. Hearing grumbles is great.
