People are just going to disagree with you, argue, insult you, and at the end, you've wasted your time for absolutely no gain to anyone. There's no benefit to posting anything on Lemmy, unless you need external validation - either confirming your perspective, or seeking praise from a third party.

Exceptions are when your profile is associated with some larger organization, scheme with an obscure goal, is an attempt to gather information, or the literal goal is to waste time, your own or others.

This means that every post not meeting those exceptions is an altruistic act that you should consider being grateful for. Someone expended time and effort for the purpose of entertaining you, a complete stranger, they'll likely never know and never meet. They wasted their own time so they could improve yours.

Oh, I saw a World of Darkness total conversion mod for a game I play just yesterday. I hadn't considered it was so obscure that one would need to willingly traverse the cess pit that is Facebook in order to converse with fans. I hope that one day they have a thriving community in a permanent, respectable home.

That sounds as effective as it is fun to type out repeatedly. I don't think becoming a eunuch would actually have that effect on a person, though, otherwise all women would be good people by default and that sadly is not the case. Unless there's a womanly version of being a eunuch? 🤔

    Oh I also have no expectations that the decision to castrate would make them better people. I just enjoy telling religious bigots that the bible recommends they castrate themselves for using scripture and jewish law as a weapon against others.

    As for WoD, its definitely a fairly large ttrpg fandom but the ampersand is so overwhelmingly massive that even the second largest ttrpg system out there is just a blip on the radar in comparison.
