Thanks for sharing your experience from nearly two decades in fandom. I've only ever been in small fandoms so I was wondering if fans from other corners would have different experiences and approaches to commenting and feedback.
I also wish there's a way to reassure readers that even if some misunderstanding happens, I won't call them out on committing a faux pas or passive-aggressively vagueblog about them off AO3 (another deterrent to commenting to add to your long list). Commenting is stressful and can be a tricky skill to learn, yet I can't help wonder about the missed opportunities for building a rapport with like-minded fans.
