There’s no scenario where you’re not the a-hole if you’re going to parrot something someone else told you in private, elsewhere.

There is no scenario where you "extending trust" to someone protects you from potential consequence. You're not the victim if someone you don't know well shares your private shit, you're an idiot.

If you're sharing things in confidence that could get you in trouble, you're already making a mistake, and this triggers some people and I cannot fathom why. Just be more careful and you'll be fine, you're not entitled to privacy on the internet, you cannot predict what other people do, and even if you're totally in the right and someone else is deliberately trying to "take you down" you have made mistakes in extending trust to people you don't know well enough, on the internet, about things that could have consequences.

I am sad that people never taught their kids how to use the internet back when it was newer, they just all said "nothing there is real, don't worry about it" while we all use it all day, every day, with no real guidance.
