deleted a few of my posts because they're causing excessive numbers of notifications from debate bros
my phone is having an absolute normal one today but what i tried to say was essentially i’m soft leaving - that is, i’ll answer any notifications, because of the possibility of lies spreading like last time, but i won't post any more. i may occasionally comment but probably not. i probably won't come back unless a substantial improvement in the community both on and off site has occurred. in the meantime, if you want to continue seeing my posts, you can follow me on the fediverse at @tauon@possum.city

how?? and did you do what i said? i can’t force you to, but i think it’s important for you to see how your posts might come off to other people by putting yourself in other’s shoes.
your last post. it doesn’t apply in a lot of cases, and i do do that a lot. you seem to be the one doing the opposite of what your post says though.
so my last post said that it’s important to understand differing opinions. your opinion is that 9/11 jokes are okay. i disagree.
in me trying to understand why you think they are okay, i can’t find many arguments that you have shared supporting your side besides “oh yeah sure but it's fine to make jokes about people who could commit suicide yeah sure i get it” (people make jokes about people that commit suicide, so i can make jokes about 9/11). i asked for evidence from you and never got a reply.
i can though, find plenty of evidence supporting the claim that 9/11 jokes are not okay. such as “ok but how does that relate to the fact that it’s not okay to make jokes about something that killed many people’s FAMILY. are you willing to put that aside to make a “joke”??” or “There are kids right now, in this world, who never got to meet there grandparents because of 9/11.”
so i have tried to see things from your side. i’m asking for you to see things from everyone else’s.
