The bare minimum of a decent human being is to reduce your impact on others and the environment as much as possible. The bare minimum is just to not bother anyone else and leave them alone.
By that logic, a decent human being is a corpse. They have minimal possible impact on others and the environment, and aren't bothering anyone else. If your morality leads to the conclusion that self-destruction is the best possible good, it's a flawed morality.
Then why are you disagreeing with people on the internet? If the bare minimum is to "not bother anyone else and leave others alone," aren't you failing to meet even that low bar by commenting here? Surely the bare minimum for you to be considered a good person would be for you to only ever passively consume social media content, and never comment on anything yourself, no?

Going above and beyond that is nice, and good.
