evacideI am not sure why Mastodon is the only platform I am on where ending a post with "I am not interested in debating this" gets dozens of replies, many of which are, in fact, trying to debate this.
Boyd Stephen Smith Jr.@evacide Honestly, I should just mute the phrase "I am not interested in debating this", any toot containing it isn't worth reading.
It's someone making an assertion, but being unwilling to defend it, which is just wasting everyone's time.
Well-reasoned argument might rarely change minds, but cross-shouting contrary assertions never does; it just stokes division and violence.
