Don’t make posts telling others what to do. People have different opinions, and governing their lives with “advice” won’t help anything most of the time.
don’t live in echo chambers. Respectfully engage in contrasting opinions (unless it makes you uncomfortable) even if you don’t like the person.
mmmmmm, i think ppl shuld try to understand the other side to an argument tho. how can u make a point when u dont even understand wut ur arguing against
Simple solution: don’t argue? We do live in a society where understanding each other is key, but online, that’s different. Sure, wo.m is small enough to be hard to avoid someone else, but generally… interaction online is avoidable and arguments are unnecessary.
yea tru but i mean like ur opinions will get swayed easily, like ppl can easily be manipulated in this way, where ur only told stuff to confirm ur own biases, leading to them becoming more extreme
Yes, but that’s still better than all out flame wars sometimes.
Flame wars can be avoided by not responding, but you can still try to see the other side's ideas. It's called open-mindedness
What about dertermenter’s “respectfully engage” then?
It depends on:
The extremity of the topic
Whether your response is reasonable to the topic or not
also i do agree with u, but like a lotta people r still gonna argue so might as well try to keep their minds more open? idk
But arguments are fun!
They aren’t when the argument is about the living rights of trans people
Why would you be argueing about that
I don’t know, I didn’t choose
But you can choose! When the argument gets actually serious, side-track the other side with some personal attacks or some stupid comments (Example: “Youre not skibidi haha”)
That’s exactly what annoys me about talking to people in my school, “haha your hair is funny you don’t have an opinion”
Skibidi toilet = invalid argument, L + ratio
Are you sure you’re old enough to use wo.m?
To win an argument, you don’t convince the other side, thats a discussion, not an argument, the only way you “win” in an argument is by maintaining a better mood than your opponent.
True, but it makes people angry
yes, I believe I might be older than dert
To win an argument you have to be sensible and quit
Don’t spread anger, please :(
Act like it then. People who act <13 shouldn’t be allowed on 13+ websites.
that works too
Its either that or catboys, but people get angry at catboys as well :P
I act more mature on >13 sites for whatever reason lol
Ok
Why :(
wo.m is >13?
wa
because why else would you have a conversation online anyways
sorry typo i meant <13
?
I meant why do people get mad at catboys
Ah, I see.
?
you got mad when I told you to become catboy :P (or is that not u yall have the same picture)
what (wom does not give context lmao)
Ok
No, I didn’t “get mad”, I just answered with a calm “No”.
I lost track what are we talking about
lol
You’d probably get mad if I kept asking
same lmao
I don’t get mad a lot
I mean, I could probably make you mad (or if you’re really smart, which people don’t seem to be, you’d block me before that happens), but unlike a certain cousin of mine, I prefer not to do that until someone provokes me first
I don’t think you can block on here (https://wasteof.money/posts/664376fc78e0ba3832878b3b)
perfect >:3
No, because then I would report you instead of getting mad
But nothing I say is inherently bad, im just being mildly annoying
Agreed, but mildly annoying in large quantities is bad
its bad, but its really hard to notice
ok now can you consider becoming a catboy
is easy to notice in your notifications
It is, but its not ban worthy, and it’d be really weird if a mod decided to stalk me for a week just to see how annoying I am
I don’t know if mods need to stalk you for a week
I already know that mods can see all posts on the site from their home page, and that jeffalo can see your IP and which accounts logged in from it, some things not too many people seem to know about. Maybe he can also see all your comments? Who knows?
They probably can, but nothing I post is really annoying enough to warrant punishment, you’d need to see the exact context to find why people would even be angry at me
It doesn’t matter on how annoying you are, it matters how it emotionally impacts people
ANSWER!!!
Be more patient
NO!1!!!!1!!!!!!!!!
Yes. Patience is important in life.
Not when im trying to get into an argument online
If you’re trying to get into an argument, you really don’t have a lot of good things to do with your life. Maybe get a hobby? Inventing languages is fun, you could try making music, or maybe design airplanes (idk).
Nah, its just the least time consuming thing to do
What do you mean
I would do something else, but they all take too much time and I don’t want to be interrupted halfway
Do make posts telling others what to do. People don’t have different opinions and we should live in a totalitarian world!!!
Are you being serious?
no
Ok, good
>:(
