@jk i know what i'm doing this weekend now

@ReyCasting damn wholeheartedly agree with all of that

i don't think we've ever had a community other than a few scattered close friends we collected together in one discord server that nobody really seems intent on participating in

@hazel what is the world coming to

the people telling me i need to be using alt text and CW because this isn't twitter are the same people who keep thinking liking someone's post conveys anything (reach, acknowledgement) other than that you like their post because that's what it did in twitter

@pencilears in general people litter because nobody views it as making more than a small individual mess so we shouldn't change it right

there sure are people on the internet insistent on being wrong and boy do they know how to push my buttons to keep arguing with them 🫠

getting told that every website having https is "devaluing the worth" of websites having https, like every website has it now so it doesn't mean anything

while also arguing that google "did the right thing" forcing every website to have https (whether they handle sensitive data or not)

which, as someone who disagrees that static websites need https, i have not heard worse technical arguments in a long while

social media is anything but and mastodon has not ever been and will not ever be better than twitter or any similar contrived microblogging platform for as long as it retains the favourite button

"but they're acknowledging you" no they are being unhelpful and you are being patronizing

and i don't mean in a mansplaining kind of way or "how do i do x in y" "use z instead"

i mean "how do i do x" "rando favourited your post"

like it's just non-sequiturs. i'm in a don hertzfeldt skit

who am i kidding nothing has really changed since 2017 we're still giving non-answers to question posts and trying to explain why that is a correct thing to do

newer mastodon users please stop trying to rationalize antisocial behaviour challenge (impossible)

@pencilears "does anybody know abcxyz? ​" "i love this post, gold star for you"

you are rationalizing antisocial behaviour

@pencilears it's a question with a boost ok emoji. there's no conversation to be acknowledged. i think you are talking about the latter point
