RE: Minnows & Newbies: The Comment Section Is Your Greatest Asset
weapon OR tool? or both? One of the things I love about steemit and dtube is how commenting is usually a far more positive experience. On other social platforms, there's nothing stopping the haters and trolls from being idiotic, vulgar, or downright hateful. On dtube and Steemit, there's chance you could get downvoted just for having a different opinion from the creators or other commentors. Then there is a chance I could be misunderstood, taken out of context, or just used the wrong words- and all it takes is one whale or even a dolphin to hamper a newbies payout or, more importantly, reputation.
weapons are tools
adulting is hard.

What I would say is be considerate of others. Like you mentioned earlier. Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you. Now of course not everyone has that mindset but oh well. You be the good example and just be considerate.
If you are afraid your words will be taken out of context then use a disclaimer. Easy peasy. Steemit just operates differently and the culture here is for the most part supremely considerate of others and positive as you said. This is what makes Steemit so unique because I don't know of any other platform that has a noticeable culture. Especially a very positive one.
