The mere presence of bad actors causes decent actors to be unfortunately-yet-understandably suspicious of each other

and because most people are prone to being self-obsessed, many self-proclaimed “decent” actors will punish other decent actors for being wary and looking out for their own self-interest. These outcomes are downstream of the original bad actors!

Other people’s mistrust and wariness of you is not an assessment of your moral worth. Rather, it is a reflection their (imperfect) assessment of the context they are operating in “I am worried for my safety” does not mean “you are a bad person”

I’ve been wanting to tweet for a long time about how to effectively signal that you are a good actor, but I always procrastinate because talk is cheap and it’s always more effective to just be a good actor than to talk about it. Still, I feel like someone ought to talk about it

I doubt signalling being a decent person is even possible, short of just being a decent person. I don't think there are any actions that adequately separate good and bad people quickly. Would love to be proven wrong though.
