Someone else will say that if you don’t want everyone to be able to say whatever they want in your thread whenever they want to say it, you shouldn’t post in public because that’s the bargain.
But like…I don’t want the old bargain. The old bargain is kind of shit! We have a million ways to contain and shelter even “public” conversations offline, let’s have that in the good online places, too.
@kissane being able to walk away from a conversation or tell people to butt out is part of public life and should be embraced. i don't understand not giving people control over their internet conversations
