Yes, we haven't spoken for a long time. I followed your story. You seem to have made an important discovery: that people do not play by their own rules. For me, the question would be, in the online chat discord for example, whether you care about these strangers who label you and at the same time show how superficial and how little they express themselves according to their own codes. I don't think it's worth chatting with strangers who are not interested in you, not interested in your interjections or questions. Or how do you see it? It obviously has less meaning for them than for you.
The fact that people start googling you and form an opinion of you as a result only further testifies to their desire to reach a preconceived opinion without being the least bit interested in a more expansive exchange. For me personally, that was the reason not to go on the chats, I tried it out and judged it to be too insubstantial. Which is not to say you should do the same. It is up to you to let others benefit from your knowledge, but I personally see it as a waste of time to want to share with people something they have no desire to know about. Of course, you are also right to want to point out a general tendency that has spread in online forums: a high intolerance of anything non-stereotypical.
Actually, it's downright tragic to take all these labels seriously, you can basically only take them with humour. But even humour is not understood by everyone.
Anyway, I think you have an unusual way of communicating and I wouldn't dream of "disliking" or "muting" you because of it. I think that's nonsense. But I don't do the programming of a platform.
They are strangers to me in the same way you're a stranger to me. I agree with you in regards to humor and specifically laughter is medicine.
I agree that some things or even some people should not be taken too seriously and/or we should not get lost in worry, fear, confusion, details. Learn from the past but don't dwell in the past.
On top of that, pick your battles wisely. This situation doesn't really matter a lot to me in some ways, I'm not necessarily weighed down because of Discord.
I just want people to know and I want to also hold them accountable for their actions. I want them to see they can't get away with those types of crimes.
In the court of public opinion, there is the evidence to their action for the world to see. Yes, perhaps nobody cares and that I wasted my time putting all of this together. I get it. I understand all of that and yet I chose to do it regardless. Also, I kind of like the group, I kind of like the people or some of them at least. I'm also a curious person too.
By the way, I am using Hive Vote at https://hive.vote to vote for people on Hive Blog automatically and I put you on my list, I will be upvoting your posts.
I agree with you in regards to the value or lack therein in chat rooms, I mean generally speaking, exceptions may apply, it depends, but it can often be a waste of time for so many reasons and in so many ways almost everywhere with too many people. So, I'm not always trying to spend all my time to be running around all in live YouTube video chats or in SMS phone text messages, Facebook chats, forums, Discord even, other websites. I kind of don't like small talk even in real life either.
You are right, people can often not want to know certain things. In my life, I've been maturing for many years towards trying to regulate myself in light of that. Too often, people may not want to know or may not be ready.
So, it may be more beneficial to present things to people but not to beat them over with the stick of enlightenment. You kind of have to give them a teaser, an invitation, and then walk away.
I have had the tendency in life to either do too much or too little, to either say too much or too little, and seeking after balance is the real trick. It is worth it in life to seek after balance and it is fun to do so as well.
All of what you've said, is well stated in my eyes. I have not much to ad.
Yes, it's always good to give people a teaser and make an invitation for a dialogue, instead of disagreeing downright and directly. I have to remind myself to this, too. Sometimes I am the one who is not ready yet for something or really don't want to know. ... So I thank you to give me that reminder. I like being invited instead of being "corrected".
The balancing is an art, every day we face this act of balancing, aren't we? We learn with practice.
Greetings to you :)
Exactly.
