    I’m a neurotypical, but this is me too! I sometimes wanted to type a whole paragraph arguing with tankies/fascists, then realize, what’s the point, so I just ignore them.

        I never had to block anyone on that other site. I like it here much better, but I might actually have to start blocking these tankie fucks.

        It’s less of a “try to convince them” but more of a “i need to confront them counter their propaganda”, like you don’t confront racists because you think they’ll change, but to remind them and society that it’s wrong and the more people start confronting them, the less socially acceptable it is. But then again, I could just ignore them. It isn’t my fault that people get brainwashed by a tankie/nazi comment online.

          Yep. Most of the time online you won’t convince the person you’re arguing against, BUT to convince people reading the thread. For the most part, arguing online is performative, for the purpose of the audience rather than the participants.

          “You worship single-party states, not caring about worker enfranchisement - you’re not a communist - you’re a red fascist that gives communism a bad name.”

          “What kind of half-arsed unprincipled Nazi are you? You’re posting here rather than emulating your furher, who shot himself.”

      Sometimes my Autism gets the upper hand and I have to correct someone being wrong on the internet

        Yes. I’m fairly sure this too is a trait shared by ADHD, though.

      Or I find the right words, but they come all at once and in the wrong order, and there’s just so many of them, and it’s very important that I get them exactly right, and… yeah I’m just going to not bother.

      And then a few hours later I realize that it was a work email and I probably should get back to that.

      Or I realize halfway through that I’m being a bit of a dick and decide the world doesn’t need more shittiness so I just delete the comment.

    I don’t have a Cancel button on the web UI so I am usually nervous that it will somehow get posted ever tho I don’t want to post it.

    We should just build a meme where we hit submit instead of cancel. I think it would really lead
