“we should be able to ban furries!!!!!1!” wrong! kill the part of you that cringes
hot take: arguing with me is an ableist microagression because i’m autistic
I think we all (including myself) need to remind ourselves sometimes that this is just a tiny website and its mostly just here for fun.
its really sad to see how divided and angry the community has become. I get it that people will argue sometimes, and arguments may get a bit out of hand, and that happens. I think many of us who have been involved in these dramas or “kerfuffles” are guilty of this, even I am to a degree. And that’s ok, that happens, and we might like each other less in the end, and that’s ok too, you don’t have to like everyone, that would be basically impossible.
The problem is when you don’t move on. The problem is when an entire group of users tries to villainize a user or multiple users. I don’t want to feel like this website is going to turn into opposing factions that could explode at any second.
Maybe an issue is important to you, maybe you feel that the other person is objectively wrong, but 9 times out of 10 there is no way you’re gonna be able to change the other person’s mind. and if an argument is going nowhere or is pretty clear that its about to turn into a fight, back out, and move on.
Losing an argument doesn’t feel great, but feeling like you have enemies is even worse, sometimes its ok to agree to disagree and end it there.
chat do you say “i’ve been saying this”, or is this just slang in my friend group that i haven't realised isn't a well known phrase
NEUROS funny quote alert:
"I gotta make my dragons more flamboyantly
gender neutral, you can't tell at all if its
a male or female but DAMN are they pretty"@lily or @silly : plays Celeste
Celeste: puts estrogen in the world
lily and silly: eat the estrogen in the world
the cycle continues
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
