increasingly noticing that when my friends say “i keep getting this negative insane feedback from other people” i used to default to assuming they know that the feedback is insane
but seems more like a part of them doesn’t and i do actually need to say “this feedback is insane”

yud wrote this thing once i won’t be able to find about how sane discourse requires 4 layers of feedback: people say things, people give feedback on those things, feedback on the feedback, feedback on the feedback on the feedback

i don’t remember why 4 and not 3 but 3 is a lot better than 2. the structure of the internet broadly and twitter specifically privileges the 2nd layer of feedback i think. lets bad feedback run rampant

What happens when there are only fewer layers than 4? Did they mean that that isn't discourse? What is it then?
