It’s worth deploying your social or community defenses against them anyway. I recommend focusing less on intent and more on patterns of harm.(Credit to my explicit articulation of this idea goes in large part to Aella, and also in part to Oliver Habryka.)Original article:https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/zidQmfFhMgwFzcHhs/enemies-vs-malefactorsNarrated for LessWrong by TYPE III AUDIO.Share feedback on this narration.
