These are just some random threads I saved. As others have pointed out, niche communities are (usually) the least toxic. Applies to any site or chatroom.
Actually, a lot of conversations here are quite healthy imho. Outside of meme-communities that is. Sometimes I’m on Reddit because on here there’s not really a flashlight 🔦 community. People comments over there used to be constructive, sometimes obviously satirical - now there’s just trolls and mean people.
I initially joined this conversation to say that there would be no way for anyone to deserve such a great shoe tying complement, but after researching your abilities I must say that I stand corrected. Bravo on your fantastic ability.
I’ve used this for years but I have a pretty high rate of asymmetry. It’s still a lot quicker to just quickly fix that than do it the way I was taught so I keep doing it.
Maybe I should practice doing it symmetrically instead of assuming I will always lopside it though

Do you ever get burned out on people not starting out in good faith? Like I used to enjoy back and forth, but a while ago I gave up because the majority are super defensive instead of inquisitive.
Bad faith arguers usually won’t answer a question because then they’d have to reveal they’re arguing in bad faith. But that ends up being the tell anyway.
There was a recent instance where I asked someone if they really supported free speech, which they arguing for in response to a Canadian policy that would criminalize calling for genocide. Really supporting free speech meant permitting calls for genocide against a group that included them.
They never answeres the question about whether they supported calls for genocide that might include them. I asked them twice.
In that case, it’s easy enough to just stop responding to anything they say. They’ve outed themselves by not participating in the conversation.
