@freemo yeah I say that in jest
@freemo as for people who aren’t young but still aren’t mature enough, I assume they have shitty right wing views anyway
@freemo fair point, young people might not be mature enough.
@freemo I’m not gonna start hating the Jews/gays/blacks just bc some snotty very online purple hair calls me names. However I can see people being exasperated by having to explain why a policy against long hair disproportionally affects black people, where dreadlocks are well within black cultural norms vs white culture where long hair is specifically countercultural.
@freemo how does this push people to the far right? Which far right policies are you more likely to support due to this online interaction?
By the way, Mastodon and Fedi aren't normally slow!
If your server is running a bit slow right now, it's because of so many new members all at once 😅
The server admins will get them back up to speed 👍
@derickflorian definitely! That’s a great mindset and I hope to live by it here.
@freemo and it would be nothing w/o flame wars
@freemo great! It’d be a little sus w/o some argument tbh
@caitlinmoriah we can always invite them to join this free exchange in the marketplace of ideas. They could tell us what is objectively true and what isn’t 🤙
@freemo oh no I’ve made a huge mistake ;)
I quit Twitter for now. I hope to turn this experience from conversation centered on how wrong and terrible everyone is, to something more positive.
