And also, yeah, here’s a mea culpa if you want one: I have at many times put energy into screaming online that could have been better spent in other ways, because I felt scared and paralyzed and screaming online seemed easier
I think that’s a very understandable thing to do, but it’s also unhelpful
Our existence in social digital space contains many if not all of the difficulties and complexities that our existence in all other kinds of social space contains, and grasping the scope of that is not always easy
Which is to say I think both OPs are right
Yelling online might not be fruitful in terms of "getting things done", but I think at times it might be one of the better options available for working through some emotions.
