Thanks to the admins for not enabling downvoting
Far too often, lately, I see lots of people worried about the number of downvotes, or making preliminary justifications and requests to not downvote particular posts.
Me? I don't have to think about any of that. The content of the posts and comments determines their quality, not some artificial number that only represents whether people dis/like something.
Edit: Wow, a lot of people from other instances seem really offended that I don't like downvoting and seem a bit confused that I'd be thanking my admins for something I appreciate.
If you like downvoting, you don't have to move here. Enjoy your instance's features. Welcome to the Fediverse.
You're viewing part of a thread.
I am literally outside right now. I've always felt that "touch grass" and the like have this ableist connotation where you're baselessly accusing someone of poor mental health habits. And besides, some people have disabilities that make it hard to go outside. Agoraphobia, even just plain old mobility disorders make it a bigger ask to say touch grass of go outside. I guess what you're meaning to say is people spend too much time on the internet. It's an insult that disproportionately gets used against queer and autistic people who will get hate crimed if they be themselves in meatspace. Being online is the reason a lot of trans people haven't killed ourselves. I'd be dead if it wasn't for the internet. And I cycle to work every working day, but I suppose you'd still accuse me of mental illness with intent to attack just for needing an online place to be myself. That, or you're just repeating an anti-trans, anti-disabled cliche because you haven't ever thought about the meaning of the words and just know it's something mean to say to an autistic person without seeming like an arse.
That must be an exhausting way to think. Be kinder to others and people will be kinder to you.
You can go through life blaming everyone else for your own actions, but sooner or later someone's going to get sick of your aggressive behaviour.
Yes, that is exactly my point to you.
That's because you came into a discussion slinging insults with zero self awareness. You think a person disagreeing with an authority figure on a matter of politics is a personal insult.
I never insulted you. I feel bad for you, I really do. There is more to life than being angry with everything and everyone
How is it that your definition of an insult is so narrow as to not include your words, but so broad as to include mine? A contradiction to be sure.
This thread is really something, I've been following iy from afar, what a ride
