well that’s the interesting part right? frequently it generates consensus through creating sub-communities of unquestionable lock-step morals. the aversion to discourse is cyclical here, because the norm is that disagreement is discouraged so users causing conflict get weeded out

alright great i’m glad we have reached consensus in my anti-consensus thread, now that the meta-discourse has been resolved you can resume your regularly scheduled discourse

yea for sure, opt-out makes a ton of sense in many situations. but avoiding it tout court is a mistake i think

in a sense this is true, but i also think people need to be comfortable challenging even there most deeply held convictions, in a disagreement that might actually threaten something important to them

(not that conflict is good in all cases ofc, the decision to opt-out is contextual, not categorical one way or the other)

very very good but if exposed to open air it will dissolve

as my bio implies, my feeds are only lists rn, you’d think i’d be more immune to brainrot!

idk why everyone’s so afraid of discourse

it’s fine to disagree and even argue with your friends, and yes publicly! it’s lubricant for thought and good for the soul

the desire (and expectation!) of consensus needs to be inoculated against

sorry slug i like this option better

seriously tho it’s genuinely sad i’m just sitting on my home tab refreshing feeds waiting for my next fix

highly addicted to bsky ngl. i should have went to sleep 5 hours ago, my thumb hurts from scrolling all day, and i had to recharge my phone battery twice today

i miss gail

she loved SoCal, i think she may have ended up there now. would’ve been nice to go with her some time maybe. hope she’s happy.

oh it’s just like boomer humor “my dad works at microsoft” is like “i know cool inside secrets because i know a guy” and “my girlfriend goes to another school” is similarly like “oh i’ve totally got a gf and im cool you just don’t know her”, with the implication that both are lies

his uncle works at discord oh and um his girlfriend goes to another school
