#i think we've all been there at least once but it's a v uncharitable way of communicating

One of the most annoying things about modern social media is that (1) most of it is actively hostile to (or at the very least not well-designed for) long-form text communication and yet (2) a lot of users seem not to have internalized this.
So you'll get these unnecessarily aggressive responses from people who assume that a single casually worded paragraph is the be-all and end-all of OP's thoughts on a subject. And so then on the next post you'll make sure to add a disclaimer about nuances x y and z which you're not covering here, and people will still get mad and tell you you're being dismissive because you didn't devote more time to those nuances. So on the next post you'll write three paragraphs, and people will STILL get mad because they only skimmed far enough to get outraged, and when you point this out as politely as possible they'll be like "do you actually expect anyone to read all that. fuck you."
