When some nihilistic edgelord cares too much about others caring about something and screeches "WHO CARES?" or "NO ONE CARES" wojak-nooo thought-terminating cliches to try to shut discussion down, I voluntarily say "I care" and that often shuts them up and whatever was being cared about usually continues.

It's a small thing, but I think it makes a local difference.

Remove anonymity.

I’m not advocating for that. The internet would be a boring dystopia, but it sure as shit would be nicer if every statement could be tied back to a real person.

Would it? Facebook is a cesspool.

I doubt even a third of facebooks profiles can be easily traced to a real person. Be that as it may, I answered the wrong question so it’s a bit of a moot point.

Block freely and block often.

Encourage people to leave behind toxic elements such as proprietary social media platforms and Windows. It's very healthy for the mind to have freedom regarding your possessions and not being fed rich-funded hate goop.

Don't participate or be involved in the most popular online communities. I find once an online community reaches a threshold it goes to shit. Finding your niche people online is the best way to finding a nice place you belong.

Run a pihole and block degenerates

Agree with the narrative so everyone feels safe and secure

Sometimes I'll write out a big mean comment, and then I just hit the back button instead of posting it

Stop feeding off what is given to you and look for and search for quality, informative, objective content that is not manipulated to play with you emotions.

The internet is many things other than just a place to waste away your time, energy and awareness of the world.

Provide detailed help troubleshooting people's tech problems.

My response might become helpful to many people in the future, even if it doesn't help the person who originally asked the question.
