I'm way too burnt out irl to be that angry anymore ;')
Same. I like shitting on people with [particular] bad political takes (zionism, genocide backing, MAGA etc) but i hate getting into arguments with those people later. Especially since some of those takes are common, i'm just getting into a bar fight where i'm outnumbered lol.
This place really needs multicommunities
https://piefed.social/feeds :p
I wish you the best with your goals :D
Welp, I already failed miserably at staying away from news and politics and not insinuating that certain people's brains aren't working properly lol. Starting to consider that maybe a second account is the answer. Then I block all everything except for things that make me smile and a better person on my main account. Then I only visit my other account when I'm in the mood for raging against the machine.
For me it's not so much the arguing that gets to me. In fact I stopped feeling like it's a duty to respond to things that I don't want to respond to a while ago. So if someone wants to argue some MAGA shit, I'll probably just ignore. And if they're too hard to ignore, I'll probably just block.
What gets me is that it ends up making me a kinda bad person too. Feels good calling these people inbred idiots in the heat of the moment but really, I don't want to be the kind of person that calls others inbred idiots. It makes me feel like a piece of shit later. Over all I think there's probably better ways of expressing oneself than resorting to what is essentially calling people 'retards'. Just not with those exact words. I'd rather be part of the solution than part of the problem.
Useful to refer to but kind of an awkward workaround if you're not actually signed up on Piefed. I actually plan on signing up there some time, as an end user, they seem to constantly be working on great features that actual users can see and notice and I like that. Just waiting for some decent app choices for it.
That's pretty much me. If you look at my social media usage, you would think that I'm a talkative, confrontational person but in the real world, I spend most of my life smiling and waving. And waiting for the conversation to be done so that I can get back home lol.
