I can't believe I said "maybe to try to understand the underlying conditions that enable western separatism to take root" and spend the whole goddamn morning getting screamed at. This app is a cesspool sometimes.

Most posts are first responses, not well considered responses. Basically, most posts are those impulse thoughts upon first reading something. These types of responses are not going to be anything but emotion and fast punches, and are essentially not serious. Keep doing your good work Steve.
There are a lot of people who just dont think here and are so entrenched in their team mentalities. Ive seen people scream at places like press progress and the breach for being right wing misinformation outlets lol
Not sure why everyone’s freaking out at you. It’s insane. Like, I’ve watched most of my friends move further to the right and rather than cut ‘em out and disregard their concerns, I’m trying to listen to ‘em. Think we’d all be better off if we just listened for a second and swallowed our tongues.
Agreed. I think the platform lends itself to black and white thinking. I want to learn more but am not sure where to getting in understanding the issues/background etc. There is so much noise. Open to recommendations. Can we start a list?
This is the natural consequence of human interaction being mediated through text with optional anonymity. Plus everyone has been trained by engagement-baiting algorithms to be hyperbolic.
I tend to assume that a certain percentage of nasty replies aren’t even genuine engagement, especially if they’re from numbered accounts. Numbered accounts are an instant block for me.

These are terrible platforms for real debate.
