Parent commenter left off the /s.
You’re like the only one that understood. Oh well lmao
I got it instantly, and I cracked a smile
Honestly, people are just scared and looking for a fight. And I mean...shit is fucked. Still sucks that people on lemmy seem to have stopped trying to understand though, things have not been the same here in the last few months
Anyways, /s kills any humor in the joke, I appreciated a little reminder of the absurdity of this timeline. Humor is how we keep it together when everything is on fire
Lemmy is full of people who're looking for an argument or some way to feel smug and superior. All the "well, ackshually" big brains moved over here and it's exhausting.
Nah, I pick my words carefully, and usually have a mountain of science behind them
For example, I said 4/5 of RFK's opinions are actually pretty good, but the 5th is so insane it puts the last 4 into doubt.
Someone calls me out on "they want to put AuDHD people into camps". I say I'm one of them, and being able to voluntary get out of the modern world for as long as you need is a safety net that would save so many lives
They asked if I had a PhD, so I hit them with the science - behavioral activation, getting away from your stressors, and getting away from modern life (because we're not crazy, the modern human world is what's crazy) is the most effective treatment for most mental illness. And I went on to list my concerns about implementation, and how this great idea could easily become a work camp if it's not as voluntary as advertised
They hit me with "that's some pull yourself up by your bootstraps shit"
That's what lemmy has been like. It's not "um actually", it's "if I totally breeze through what you said in the most uncharitable way, I can interpret this as you said something horrible"
I classify them the same. People who read a 3 paragraph comment and pick one single part (and act like it discredits your entire point) are the worst of the ackshuallyers.
Whenever you omit a /s you take a risk.
Especially given Lemmy's substantial nuerodivergent population clear markers of sarcasm are always a good idea.
I got it... 🤷♂️
