has something in the process fundamentally changed since Trump?

they know less than they imagine and their primary role is not to teach

preachy

my sympaties are with the blockee

from my point of view i made positive (vague) points about my position and only changed my tone to match yours

do you suppose i was ruder than you in this conversation? I don't see it at all tbh

i could be soft as a lamb and it would not change anything. I've had these conversations a hundred times

i didn't come to assume hostility for no reason. you haven't blocked me so really you're way above average for my experience with bsky conversations about ai

pretty sure those words conveyed information. im not going to offer an impassioned in-depth argument when i have little reason to believe it's going to find a receptive audience

bad politics as a motivating factor and all sorts of poor thinking in service of that

misguided

may be better to think in terms of "does my participation lend material support"

what if "church ain't all bad" but then you link the donations to an anti-abortion/anti-trans campaign

seems like people are seeing this as incoherent and idk why. it's quite straightforward

preference sure whatever. a prescription no

or don't

it do be like that

"Rude" tags (and hiding) on accounts and comments is a terrible idea @moderation.bsky.app

i think it's the juxtaposition to the thoroughly deradicalized "good" option that calls for such criticism

heh

To make a thief, make an owner; to create crime, create laws.

curious to know what limitations force it to ignore groyper comments. there're probably several layers and any one of them could be catching it but also this would simply be reporting on external content, neither you nor it are implicated in the inappropriate behavior so the filtering makes no sense

I guess what spurs people on is not the severity of a problem but its status in the public discourse

the bubble, the pollution, and the slop are three different problems with their own specifics that are habitually bulldozed over with generalizations and reflexive arguments

pollution slop bubble

switched to "New" comments to see what it looked like. some are transparently gropers but there's also the genre of "they're both cringe", yapping accusations, etc as if the substance of what was talked about was irrelevant

words

thabk you for the psychic damage
