It just adds to the power of the posts you do make
But now I want that pint though
Hahaha I know, right? It’s funny how accurate th
I see what you did t
Daily lmao.
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.
Talking with tankies is generally pointless anyway. I just block and move on. No one is going to read their mad rambling either anyway so
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.
Boo 👻
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.”
Yeah. I often type out a comment. The. Realize I really don’t want to be bother by this person’s adhoc reply… then just delete it.
Are you trying to imply people with ADHD, as in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, have an attention span long enough not to reply?
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.
It would being nothing to the conversation, or I don’t find the right words for explain my ideas correctly.
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.
Ouch. Important mails, I succeed to do them well.
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.
This too.
Or I realize that the message I start to reply to is hostile and not worth engaging with.
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.
Haha that’s so–
Actually, never mind. I don’t care that much.
hahaha, I do this all the fucking time it’s funny how similar we ca-
Sometimes I get to the finish line and submit it. Then some shmuck has the nerve to point out some silly little typo. I barely care enough to finish the comment you real
post a comment
see someone else posted something similar
delete comment
sometimes idk why i bother
We should just build a meme where we hit submit instead of cancel. I think it would really lead

Actually I’m not so sure. That honestly sounds like it could lead to several significant issues, such a
That’s a valid point, however, I think t
I still care. I just don’t want to potentially start an argument I don’t intend to engage in.
