Keyboard Warriors
“Dear friends!! This group is created to solve our housing society issues and help to maintain society in a better way.. if any group wants to discuss any political, national, or religious issues, please form your separate group. Please do not discuss these topics here in this group.” -
👆Your friendly neighborhood Whatsapp group admin(poor admin) popping intermittently in during the educated ‘keyboard warriors’ group arguments.
Most probably a 20th-century term “keyboard warriors”, they are unique species I must say - A person who behaves aggressively and/or in an inflammatory manner in online text-based discussion media, but at the same time does not behave similarly in real life, potentially due to cowardice.
Virtual aggressive identities(with opinions unasked on political, national, or religious issues). Their thoughts keep bubbling, they keep bursting into the WhatsApp groups. Pop. Pop. Pop. And of course create the most undesired unrest!
They say such behavior comes from a desire for attention or validation, sometimes boredom, frustration, depression, or a need to assert dominance. Really? Interesting then.

Org communication tooling — Orchestrated chaos
We have abundant tools to‘communicate better’ than ever before. Yet, the more tools we have, the worse our communication gets. In fact, we do an atrociously terrible job of it. Between Slack, WhatsApp, emails and calls, you have a roundtable of chaos that showcases a versio...
