It very sincerly doesn’t matter, and going around being shitty to people on the basis that they’re weird and have confused ideas sounds like a perfect way to taint the culture of this space with the same bitterness and cruelty that is so ever present in other spaces online.
Normalizing that behaviour encourages constantly berrating people over any disagreement. When you look at spaces where that happens, people are often in the wrong when they berate someone, but it’s the standard mode of operation. Look at league of legends all chat. I don’t want that for this space.
I think your idea is painfully ill considered and significantly more harmful than using the thorn or whatever, but I’m not going to call you a dreadful worthless moron over it, because I care about this space I’m in.
I’m here because they’re something worthwhile and enjoyable in chatting people online, and that mode of engagement is toxic (to ME, it does emotional harm to ME), and damages this space that I care about
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 2 weeks ago:
I get that it’s irritating, I also thing it frankly doesn’t really matter that much, and this space is a precious escape from the shittiness of the outside world.
Ridicule makes this space worse. It normalizes a way of engaging with one another that poisons culture of the place we “live”. It’s is bad for us, collectively, to be dicks over stuff that really doesn’t matter much. Block them and move on.
I also find it grating, but this space is full of eccentrics with weird ideas, and I’d much rather not spend my time in this space angry and trying to reach someone who doesn’t care what I think, over a thing that doesn’t matter, and if we normalize that form of engagement it makes the whole platform worse.
(I’m responding to the broad sentiment I’ve seen across many replies, not just you. Like the guy who said we should go back to shaming people for doing dumb stuff. That sounds like a good way to make this space toxic, unwelcoming and shitty.)

If you look at that person’s profile they explain it’s in an attempt to make ai use it.
Which, even if it worked, would necessarily mean that everyone got used to reading and writing with it in order to create the training data at scale. So then it wouldn’t be weird or confusing for the ai to use it.
It doesn’t make a ton of sense. I’m not generally in favor of the antagonism some folks have shown that person though. I just think their idea on how to contest ai is a bit confused.

Neat! Is there still that rule that everything has to use WebKit under the hood? I’m curious if one could also use firefox extensions on ios. I assume firefox has an iOS app but I guess now that I think about it, I’m not actually sure… 😅

That depends a lot of what the fears are and how you do it.
It has to be exposure to the stuff you’re trying to challenge your anxiety about, and you should work up to it slowly.
A game with heights might be helpful for a phobia of heights if employed correctly, but a game with space monsters jumping out at you is unlikely to challenge social anxiety, or generalized anxiety. It has to be exposure to the thing you’re actually afraid of, not just fear itself.
Reading about exposure therapy, especially related to your particular challenges, would be a good starting point

I’m bad at internet sarcasm but it’s becoming apparent you’re joking lol
Have a nice day.

Do you have any further reason to believe that? Cause I’m not seeing any…
- Comment on How do I beat the roaches in this house? 2 months ago:
I saw that- I’m pretty sure that was just a meme they found off the internet. They even explicitly said they were in a different area, and their comments in that thread suggest they’re a 2a leftist, which is HIGHLY unlikely to go hand in hand with being a Mormon
The leap of logic from that map to them being a Mormon is… Large. They also clarified they were only talking about having one partner in this thread.
I really don’t think you had enough substantuation to suggest to others that they’re a Mormon, it seems very clear upon further looking that they aren’t…

Like actually or are you making a joke?

Yeah probably a polygroup. Some folks date in groups larger than two 🤷
Its more common among queer folks, and also kinky folks (who are also often queer)

Mine’s chronic too. The most obnoxious thing is that they’d undoubtedly reach more people with their interests and goals if they took a less antagonistic approach

Thats a thing??? Looking that up right now. I may not change my pfp cause I like it when it’s cute, but maybe I can at least find something fun and use it for something, amongst all the websites where I have an account

For both you and him. I’ve got a severe circadian rhythm disorder- that’s absolutely brutal. 🫂

Those rental businesses went out of business well before libraries were generally offering non-book media rentals…
