Maybe one is more likely to feel assured if they are friends. Because they come to trust the persons intentions more over time (which is why they are friends).
But when you don't know the person who is posting then maybe you are less likely to feel assured because you don't know whether they would typically post uncivil posts, or challenging posts, or dogmatic posts, or supportive posts, or what...
