We lack broad social awareness of our relationship as digital neighbors. If anyone feels a narcissistic whim to rage rant, we should have a system like captcha on 4chan, only it forces the person to make a post in order to add the comment based on sentiment analysis. Everyone should be subjected to experiencing the effort required to make a post and specifically the toll of negativity and rage comments. The narcissistic negativity leads to the situation proven by the Prisoner's Dilemma whereby everyone is brought down and suffers stagnation, regression, or collapse. ALL negative feedback systems are incapable of producing positive outcomes. So negativity directed at strangers on the internet is just shitting on everyone and especially the targeted victim of the abuse. It reflects a person without any real independent morality or ethics, when anonymity allows them to remove the masked cosplay of real world social pressures, and reveal the true ugliness of the raw person that resides within.
