Trust is earned, and rarely rebuilt.
Consistent behavior, humane treatment and kindness is the only way to do it.
That's as true online as anywhere IRL.
Know your potential friends and allies, pick your battles with your enemies, and be kind to strangers.
Withhold judgment, but be honest. Earn trust.
Don't be a dick.
