Poast can be quite edgy and obnoxious but I don't think they are Nazis. They will just filter you by posting the most taboo shit they can think of that will offend you into blocking them for entertainment because at a certain point there isn't much else they can do if you hold a set of divisive views that already other them. It's a different approach to what I do.

You can still have reasonable conversations with quite a few of them if you don't do that.

You can still have reasonable conversations with quite a few of them if you don’t do that.

I tried this for over a year. The only person who could have anything resembling rational conversations was the admin, but even he seemed to lose that ability after awhile.

@realcaseyrollins Haha. I suppose it depends on what you mean by rational and it probably depends on the topic at hand. I don't have specific examples off the top of my head since I only see them in my threads here and there.

Over-reacting to someone assuming the "fuck this guy" comment is somewhat more / or less what you meant?... 

@realcaseyrollins @sim @graf Just about this post and image of conversation, seems all good but, if I got it right, the "fuck this guy" comes into play (quite logically somewhat) but perhaps said not as hard as others hear it) so you adjusted the meaning (great all good) but then suddenly graf someone else listen suggests a racial thing and you go into that... almost over-reacting to someone assuming "fuck this guy" is somewhat more / or less what you meant.

Seems like terminating a conversation way more than needed / going on a tangent. Do you get what I mean in just reflecting that in general?

Also asking to see if worth following more (as I guess words and meanings do need to match logic somewhat)

@freeschool @sim @graf I’m not completely sure I follow. Are you saying that I mistook what graf said as anger when in reality it was something more lighthearted?

@freeschool @freeschool @graf @sim
Oh no we're not fine. The dude runs a free speech platform yet is probably the thinnest skinned dude on the whole site (not a reference to him probably being white lol). Dude literally blocked me because I made a joke referencing how many #Poast users were Nazis, while praising him for putting up with them...yeah somebody who loses their mind over something small like that isn't gonna get along well with me 😂

@realcaseyrollins @graf @sim It was the nuances of what something might mean that seemed deadly misleading (but I don't mean in jokes or something I missed before though that's included somewhat).

Just as observer hard to tell if someone says something and what it means if they almost use a different vocabulary or more usually emotionally charged one but it not really being used as strongly.

So usually short in length, seemingly emotional can not mean as much and for example my 'fuck you' to someone could be totally light-hearted and even like "I like you" lol but for others coming across it it seems clear they more use these words in for example also saying someone is retarded - like how much they mean that :blobrofl:
So to avoid this I would be tempted not to reply (in fact probably am doing so) as I'd always be 2nd guessing and need to clarify what this or that word means as sort of marker or vocab for them or graf in this case.
Totally light hearted but would even want graf to think I'm making stuff up also - just was oblivious to way language was being used :)

And I could even be wrong still....!

Ok time to use that running away / exit emoji again for talking too much
