Psychology trick 

@realcaseyrollins

In principle, that makes sense, but it doesn't come off that well in practice. Tell me I'm wrong (or to be diplomatic, say my *argument* is wrong) and I have to defend my position, but tell me you disagree and I'm not going to bother. I have no desire to spend any effort convincing a guy who's going to ignore what I say because "it's okay to disagree". Pointing out what I said that was wrong, on the other hand, is a strong signal that you were paying close attention to what I was saying, and I'll extend you the same courtesy.

(I guess you could do both and say, "I disagree because you were wrong," but that would seem to defeat your purpose).

@Meeper @realcaseyrollins I have not seen any drama on fedi that was a legitimate argument. If they are arguing about something legitimate, it does mot cause drama typically.

I have seen a lot of drama because of everything else

I love the Fediverse
@Meeper @realcaseyrollins Yeah, I woke up in the morning with about 250 notifications or so thinking it was a normal hellthread. Turns out that it was a hellthread that started because someone got triggered that I had a neckbeard account.

Then a bunch of people pointed out how dumb of a reason it was, therefore getting their whole instance blocked too. (It was like 8 or so instances that were blocked from it)

I mean, I kind of expected to get blocked because of something edgy or if I ever posted loli, but like... I didnt post anything like that on my server yet. So I found it really ironic for that reason.
@Meeper @realcaseyrollins What made it funnier is that he did not even try to talk to me. :akko_shrug:

@realcaseyrollins @Johncdvorak I want to debate hitler with these actual arguments and I want to see how the hay in his brain processes that

@realcaseyrollins I was about to mention that, but I left it out for some reason

This Reminds of that #fediblock guy though

@realcaseyrollins

True, fedi though is still better generally for the fact that it better replicates a normal social setting, and does not incorporate censorship so it allows contact of ideas unlike say twitter

@realcaseyrollins Generally on the internet it’s a case of tribalism, but in the case of fedi; things are a little flipped so other reasons have a bigger relavance
