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?
@louie All that said: you stated your opinion and are free to it. You also implicitly ask people who follow you or follow your boosting followers to spend time to read it so I’m not sure your argument is morally sound. (Thanks to the reply button) You’re not entitled to not listen to people who (thanks to the algorithm) “have” to listen to you.
But yeah, we can all block along, this is a free world :)
@b3n I do not care if you disagree with me or want to argue with me, by the way. And using the term "morally sound" makes me cringe so hard, like you are somehow the arbiter of what is morally sound.
The reply button is a tool, not an explicit invitation for you to shout into anyone's ear.
