I have to remind myself engaging is mostly useless.
When I read bs here I'm always switching between this and "if no one calls this out, people might assume it's true".
Duty calls. Someone is being wrong on the Internet! 🦸
I usually only do thar when people spread problematic stuff.
To be clear, I ain't mocking you, I know the feels. Was just referencing ~~the Bible~~XKCD
Sorry, replied in a hurry, hence so short. I cracked a smile at your comment, don't worry. Also did not know this ~~psalm~~ xkcd before, thanks.
I feel so targeted
Yeah but then the run the risk of arguing with a bot or a troll or a human being uninterested in having a productive discussion.
Yeah, getting out of the discussion at the right point is a skill I did not master yet.
Your engagement is valuable for current or future shareholders of the company owning the platform. It is of paramount importance that you engage as much as possible. Although not enough, we would recommend for example, sleeping 7 hours instead of 8 to make time for engagement such liking/disliking and commenting.
I've lived through the times when online discussion was considered "just weird internet stuff, not to be taken seriously" and then people grew up and everyone used the internet and it was the frontier of communication and was "shaping all facets of society" and now we're back at "just weird internet stuff, not to be taken seriously."
