I guess any place that has people also has people behaving idiotically. Statistical inevitability.
I've found this place to be better than many, and for it to be easier to keep stuff under control (by blocking rather than bothering to engage), but experiences probably vary.
In the end, this is what social media is. We are going to end up chasing the prefect place. If this doesn't work out, I'm abandoning social media. Why be bothered? Luckily Dan, you and I have past and future books that can do our talking.
It’s the internet, mate. And a lot of us Americans in America are not doing well with this whole Nazi takeover thing. I feel myself lurching toward being a dickhead. I have fundamentally lost human respect for fascists and no longer value their opinions or lives for that matter.
Dan: please don’t take this the wrong way, but at least consider that you might be the dick. Some of us hoped that you might not be such an asshole in this place.
blocking and muting are your friends.
I've seen quite a few of your comments on a post that merely says "blocked" and i get a warm feeling inside that I got that one right :)
People gonna arsehole everywhere.
Do please stay though, your insights are [in]valuable.
It's a matter of luck and statistics. Feel this place is still much lower than average. You sure ran across one earlier though. Classic doubling down too. (The guy you called a knob)
By the way, Dan. When you were correcting (often) your fellow countrymen over whether Buck Palace was abandoned and whether pork and beer were banned in Kennington - despite these people never even having been here - did you ever fear that kind of deluded certainty would lead to where we are now?

Shitty times
Hey, at least consider it. 😐

We’re not all that hopeless, I hope 😅
Maybe your expectations are too high.
Social media makes groups of millions.
