I'm Non-binary I hate commenting on stuff and posting in case someone wants to have an argument and hate even more when it's an AMAB man trying to start a fight. Every bad online interaction I've had have been with men who won't let anyone have the last word or admit they're wrong. More often than not I'll leave my phone and take myself away from social media and when I've come back they've continued the conversation, tagged their buddies, gone onto my profile and laugh reacted to my public posts, some even go as far as inboxing me abuse.

I used to be really really really reactive towards what people say to me/about me online and the emotions would follow me into real life. Sometimes I still have those emotions but it effects me much less IRL than before and action urges are minimal to none.

It's gotten to the point where I've really carefully curated what groups and communities I wanna be in that I know are only positive (Frogspotting on facebook is my favourite). I'll even do trial runs of being in new groups to make sure they're inclusive. The worst ones to be in are always Star Wars and Lord of the Rings on facebook (most fandom spaces tbh) but thankfully I've found some gems that I feel comfortable in.

I guess I just really hate that people become very brave online due to the anonymity.
