@cwebber@octodon.social Funny thing is I find most Americans and Brits are so concerned with not hurting feelings that their criticisms are sugar coated to the point of being effectively useless even honest.
If I were to follow the golden rule I'd be harsh, to the point most people would see it as almost mean. Because thats how I want people to be with me, brutally honest.
The golden rule only tends to work when everyone has the same sensitivities as you.
@notclacke @ayy @animeirl @cwebber@octodon.social I'd say that even as a summary it is poorly worded. It should just be "treat people how THEY want to be treated"
@ayy I dont need to be surrounded by people like me though. Diversity is a good thing.
@kechpaja @cwebber@octodon.social Thats the rule I tend to follow anyway. Though of course in practice it is a bit more involved than that with a few caveats.
@freemo @cwebber the golden rule is stupid. People are too different in their disposition for it to ever work.
