I really, deeply wish everyone would make some collective effort to unlearn the passive argumentative nature we all learned from Twitter.
Everyone always treated posts like invitations to debate or argue every point.
We deserve better than this. We don’t have to do that.
@[email protected] Trying the yes, and approach… given that this is an open forum and conversation and learning is kind of the purpose, how do you imagine a better way? Your statement is quite strong and people might disagree (as they do, I won’t talk about my perspective).
I’m not sure it’s better if we stick to agreeing or being silent. That’s not how anything changes or convergence can be reached.
Have you considered that getting contra might be a good way to learn something?
@b3n Furthermore, I do not think you are in any position to decide what the "purpose" of this network is for anyone but yourself.
Everyone will use this differently, and you are going to have to accept that. I want to use it one way, you want to use it another. Fine. But don't impose your implied rules on me. I don't exist to satisfy your requirements.
