Poll: Have you become more or less cautious about how you phrase things (or what you say) to friends since 2016? ( )
@mawr More. Though I’m not necessarily a good data point, given 2015 was when I fell out of my communities because of fraught issues that were, primarily, due to miscommunication.
Adjusting for that though, dropping social media for unrelated reasons counts, as does shying away from former friends that started using Pepe memes in group chats.

@mawr I also self-censor a lot more now in public spaces since then, though I can’t entirely disentangle that with my coping strategy from the fallings out. Not sure if I’d act the same way all other things held equal.
