Why the downvotes? It is a perfectly reasonable topic to discuss, and an interesting one at that.
I'd be willing to bet part of it is the fact when I comment or post in shitpost/memes I troll. So lots of people have tagged me with "bad faith" "troll", etcetera. When I post/comment here and in serious communities I speak genuinely. My over a dozen posts and 1500+ comments here and in serious communities are proof of that. However, that doesn't dissuade them from thinking I can't switch to serious. Idk personally if I couldn't code switch well I literally wouldn't have survived my childhood. So its just kind of natural for me to speak differently in different environments. Which is how I view communities here. I think the same type of folks will downvote it because I included jaywalking to keep it somewhat light.
Yeah that's not complicated to understand... Some people take their lives on internet forums far to seriously 🤣...
Yeah, I'm currently trying to get one to stop interacting with me.
you can block people
Sounds about right, good luck haha!
