Twitter never seems to want to let anything go

Fighting for what you believe is right is good, discussion is good, but I barely ever see discussion here, mostly just indirect takes or adding onto a pile, well aware that the original person won’t see it at all

Isn’t it possibly to take a step back and go ‘this has gone far enough’. Everything has been said and done, adding onto it won’t do anything. Some people change, some stay the same, and in the end they’re just one person. It’s not life or death. Why escalate a matter when what
you’re saying has already been said? Just agree with whoever shares your sentiments and move on. Not everyone needs to be a hero in every situation, don’t squeeze your hot take in unless it offers something new or is in anyway constructive. Most discourse on this site never seems
to actually want to help people change their views and behaviours, only to proclaim which side you personally have taken. Even valid points lose any helpful effect they could’ve had when delivered in a spiteful manner. There’s a long way between ‘hey, this doesn‘t sit well with
me, have you considered X?’ and ‘wow :)) really out here condoning Y, couldn’t be me’.
There’s a lot of angles to every case, and I value this platform for letting me see so many of them! I just wish it wasn’t such a hostile environment.

Just to clarify, this thread is about ’smaller issues’, stuff you could call drama. These cases can be indicative of greater underlying issues, of course, but you’re under the impression that the person

Also harassment campaigns will never help. They don’t prove any other point other than the fact that you’re an asshole. Don’t use a bad or problematic take as an excuse to attack someone you don’t like to begin with.

That said, someone disagreeing with you isn’t harassment either. Don’t victimise yourself.
I’m not referring to a specific instance with this, just what I’ve observed in many of them, so don’t read into this as my take on a particular case, just my observations over time.

TLDR; take a step back and see whether you’re adding to the conversation or not before you jump in. Be a constructive part of the discussion, not a hero in your own narrative.
All that said, I’m just one person. If you disagree, let me know! I’m well aware that I might be wrong.

For all that I know this thread might be indicative of something I myself am ignorant about, and if so I’d like to know! My goal isn’t to make it through this life without being wrong, but making progress.
Have a good day/night all, and take care of yourself and others
