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