When facebook became popular, the internet was flooded with normies who never learned that the internet is a different mode of socialization. They apply the same rules to talking on the internet that they do talking face to face. Those rules were developed to keep people on good terms in their local community, workplace, friend groups, and family. When you apply them to a "global community", it becomes pointless. These are people who you don't know, will never meet, and will never have to work with. Being on good terms with everyone is irrelevant and a waste of energy, and it's also impossible. Even if you can manage to keep your own behavior in check and achieve the impossible feat of offending no one, there are others who won't follow your rules, and never will, no matter how strictly you try to enforce them. It is illogical to expect the entire internet to change to suit one person's personal preferences of "civility", first because everyone's preferences are different, especially with so many different cultures interacting, and second because there is no known mechanism by which you can reliably force everyone to behave.  The solution is to grow a thicker skin, or stop using the internet. These people who are using the internet in normie-mode are preventing the evolution of online communities into something truly wonderful and open, where everyone could say whatever is on their mind. Because of them, we're stuck dealing with complaints of people using an "aggressive tone", or whines about death threats from someone who lives 6000 miles away. How many people have actually been killed after receiving an online death threat? Pretty sure it's zero, or very close to it. If you're complaining about death threats online, you are not living inside reality.
