I need to stop myself from commenting on posts on the #fediverse on one hand this is considered by some people as "rude" and on the second hand the medium is the wrong for having decent conversations. This is just another Twitter clone, some other becoming hellscape of #social media.

Being labelled also as a "reply-guy" (or "troll") is also what I don't I can comprehend. At the moment the "receiver" of a message doesn't like the content or the sender, the sender is labelled as "something bad".

@phantasus yeah....i absolutely can't stand that crap.

Are we on SOCIAL media or "shut the fuck up and read my posts" media?

I reply whenever the hell I want and call out anyone that's rude for no damn reason. I'm SO tired of that crap.

In my opinion, you do you. We're social people. Some people just think their shit smells like roses and daisies for some reason and that nobody else is "worthy" of replying to their posts.

@BeAware That the "social" in "social media" means also different things to different people. In some german podcast, I heard for example, that "social" is in english more the relation, that we put our opinions out into the open and people give their comments to them.

The direct german translation of "sozial" has the connotation of acting "socially", so being courteous, respecting each other, etc.

@phantasus sure, I like German version.

That would imply that people should be kind when others reply to them on social media.

However, a LOT of people are just rude as hell and tell you to fuck off if you're just trying to start a non-hostile conversation.‍️

@BeAware True. Any criticism, remark and interesting idea, etc. is considered to be an attack.

A really unhelpful behavior and if I would add my own judgement: if you don't want that people add their opinions to your own writing, then write them into a journal in your home on paper and leave the rest of the world in peace with it.

@phantasus facts, or make a blog. Then you can delete any comments you don't like and don't even have to reply.‍️

PS. I don't usually call people out, but THIS type of reaction to someone replying in a non-hostile way, is absolutely ridiculous. https://mastodon.social/@ErickaSimone/113947525371737729
