I think I’m going to institute a snark & put-down free policy for myself on Twitter. If someone expresses an apparently bad idea, seems to me mocking is rarely best way to make world better. Even if some exceptions (‘punching up’ etc.) the temptation & risk of abuse is strong ...

May not be best for everyone; I recognize mocking ppl in power who abuse it etc. has noble tradition & I know I have much privilege in many public discourses. So this is just for me. Want 2 make public tho so others can help me stay accountable

I ignore trolls (once apparent) but keep patience for anyone honest. I usually agree with whatever is correct that they say, and point out either what is wrong or other direction of thought. I think snark leads to increased polarisation.
