ARE PEOPLE MEANER NOWAWADAYS? ( My conclusion of people's behavior to eachother nowadays)

I feel like covid19 changed a huge part of how we interact with each other. Since the beginning of the pandemic, we had lockdowns that resulted in us depending on the internet to communicate with others. While it was a good thing to have an outlet to be with people, there were also some drawbacks. 

You know what social media also provides except interaction with individuals from a screen? Anonymity. This created a space where people are given the opportunity to say whatever they want and express their opinions. Which is good at first until people also realize the power of what they can do with being anonymous. Probably another reason people aren't afraid of saying something problematic or being outright awful to anyone is that- they don't need a filter. It's just their phone, a tablet, a laptop that they can shut close when they can.

And this for 2-3 years, when the pandemic wasn't as bad as it was and people can now interact with each other, they can only act the way they did on the internet- without a filter.

note: this is just what i think though some of it may be true to my experiences, it may be different in your views. may be people became nicer? more aware of issues we haven't noticed? that is certainly true
