I don’t like debates don’t even bother starting one with me. I won’t change my mind and neither will you, so stop wasting your time.

    Because people go into these debates online to prove themselves right. They have no intention from changing their opinion from the begining. They only want to prove the others wrong. They have already a defense build up that discredits whatever others says. They don’t care about communication or understanding others they only care about representing their opinions the best way possible. Worst part, the harder they “lose” these debates, the deeper their believes in their opinion grows as they feel the need to defend their believes.

    As a tip, if someone wants to debate you on a topic, don’t engage or engange in a communicative & cheritable manner trying to understand them and why they hold their believes. Try to move their opinions a little from their side “I get exactly what you mean, but how abou this and that. Have you considered these possibilities?” Let them reach the right conclussion and not you force them into a conclussion. I know it’s way harder than just straight up debating them but way more productive if you truly care about a topic and want to engage with them in a debate.

    Have you been to reddit, lately? Every sub is being populated by tons of bots representing their political agenda. So blatandly it’s scary and this not even in political subs.

    Reddit feels like it’s been populated by people that used to mainly be on Twitter.

    Lemmy feels like the early days of Reddit. When people actually still cared for the topics they were discussing and you had communities to discuss dedicated things.

    TLDR: I don’t care if Lemmy is Reddit 2.0 as long as it feels like the old Reddit. Because Reddit has just become Twitter 2.0.

    I mean it’s not just a lemmy thing it’s an internet thing, but mostly common in places people don’t know the autor very well and the autor decides to not use any form of indication they are using sarcasm.

    Sarcasm and rethoric questions rely heavily on human conection and being able to read tonal shifts or gestures of the speaker. You don’t have any of that on the internet.

    Yes, you can take the absurdity of some claims as an indicator some people might be using sarcasm… Then again you look what is happening world wide, and some of the absurdities being said cannot be taken as someone taking the piss but much rather hey this unknown person might hold this believes.

    So when writing and wanting to use sarcasm please be classy enough to leave a clue that it’s sarcasm by using an /s as ☠️ or writting in italics.

    There is no real strattegy when flirting. It’s all vibes based and based on the person you try. Some might love a joke you make while others might thing it’s offensive.

    The only pointers I can give are: be chill, funny and nice to be around with. Learn how read the room and how zo banter. Also if you are strughling to talk to people you find attractive: ask genuine open queshions. People love talking about themselves to people that are interested in them.
