People are just going to disagree with you, argue, insult you, and at the end, you’ve wasted your time for absolutely no gain to anyone. There’s no benefit to posting anything on Lemmy, unless you need external validation - either confirming your perspective, or seeking praise from a third party.

Exceptions are when your profile is associated with some larger organization, scheme with an obscure goal, is an attempt to gather information, or the literal goal is to waste time, your own or others.

This means that every post not meeting those exceptions is an altruistic act that you should consider being grateful for. Someone expended time and effort for the purpose of entertaining you, a complete stranger, they’ll likely never know and never meet. They wasted their own time so they could improve yours.

    I’d rather have civil discussion with disagreement, seems like that’s much better here than somewhere like Reddit. I don’t need validation, I need the truth.

      The majority of individuals lack the mental faculties to engage in critical thought. Truth

      But we will still argue with you in the comments lol 😂 I have had to tap out of comment exchanges a few times
