I think there's good parts of social media that are salvageable. I think it's generally good to be able to communicate with anyone and encounter people you otherwise wouldn't. I think we can have social media without having f

When someone does something inappropriate, you tell them so as politely as possible. Just like if someone's shoe is untied or has toilet paper on it, you let them know. No one needs to ask, those are the table stakes. (I would also poi

Just looking out for you and for the community. If I was being a chauvinist I would want someone to tell me. If someone was being a chauvinist to me I would want someone to say something. I'm not attacking you, I'm giving you feed

I get it, when things get heated everyone you're talking to blends together. I tried my best not to be insulting or to piss you off, but to the extent I did I apologize.

I don't have Bluesky. I already told you twice I deleted my accounts. > See what social media is doing to you? I can see that you imagine I'm in some kind of torment nexus, but again, you're bringing your biases and precon

Like I said before, I deleted my accounts, I'm not on Twitter. > [You] should at least have respect enough for yourself to acknowledge that in matters such as this others can have genuine differences of opinion... Physician, heal th

I don't believe you, but it doesn't really matter. (I'm happy to admit I have a small investment in helping you see my perspective, for what it's worth. It's part of my human need for connection.)

You don't get to define your behavior as nontoxic, either. I'm not arguing about what words mean.

When people think things are deeply true of themselves it can be very, very difficult for them to see when it isn't true of others. Especially if there's an embarrassing or shameful element.

There is no evidence their curiosity is ingenuine, that's your image of them but it doesn't have a basis in reality. It's based in your biases and preconceptions about social media. I'll refrain from criticizing you for

Welp, I ought to stand on business I suppose, I think social media communities are too big. I think it would be less toxic if we were balkanized into smaller communities, and interacted with people of unlike minds in a more considered and i

That was quick. You are haranguing this person for not upholding your standards of social media use while failing to hold yourself to a standard of intellectual honesty.

You are in fact expressing judgement, and your comments are getting more judgemental as the thread goes on. This is the excuse people always use to portray their feelings and judgements as objective "uncomfortable truths".

You will have deeper and better conversations if you know what questions to ask. Things that work for you might not work for others. Communication and connection is a need, not a vice. The idea that you can tell them that their relationship

You need not get that information. Other people have different needs and priorities. What if the reason they are so concerned about getting updates on this kid is that they have serious medical issues? What if it brings a ray of sunshine on

I've deleted my accounts too (HN obviously notwithstanding) but telling people they should disengage with their family because they don't need that information is patronizing and undermines your point. They get to decide what they

It's a lot less weird if you consider the possibility that you don't understand this as well as you think, and the reason people are consistently correcting you is because you are mistaken.

Additionally, the claim that these children lacked a father/adequate parenting is not in evidence. They were probably more likely than average to be born into stable two-parent households since their parents were planning to have child

I agree, great series of videos, but there's a dependent clause: > ...when the goal is to show a reimplantation of something as "higher" level as SD. Implementing autograd is interesting, but it's not directly in serv
