Comment on Inspired by a friends current vacation
zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 23 hours agoYou sound like every other comment I’m talking about. You’re patting yourself on the back and saying um actually camping is fun. Again: you don’t have to defend your hobby from people that don’t like it.
Also, saying you gotta do everything right or die makes camping sound even worse.

The number of times I’ve been camping in 41 years of life can be counted on one hand, so I wouldn’t exactly call it my hobby. Would you care to try again?
Also what’s the big deal with reading about camping safety so that you know to bring a first aid kit, extra warm blankets, pitch your tent on high ground, and any other reasonable measures to keep yourself warm, dry, and reasonably safe from infections or illnesses?
As for “you sound like…” that’s called responding to tone or tone policing. There’s unfortunately far too much of it on Lemmy and it’s a pretty strong sign of its immaturity as a discussion community. Unfortunate!

Allow me to be serious for a moment: That is absolutely not what tone policing is. Please go read this or something a bit more in depth than the wiki article: blog.stetson.edu/…/tone-policing/

Tone policing is a much older and more common tactic than that. It’s fallacious because it’s responding to the implied tone of a person’s writing (or their emotions) rather than the specific claims of their argument.
