stop shooting me in your foot, or: "I'm sorry your dog died, but what does that have to do with me?"
I would like if people would actually read my posts, instead of what they think is in my posts, if they're going to get angry at it.
this is like, a recurring phenomenon where 10% of randos come in saying I've said an egregious thing that's just... not there unless you're aggressively fitting me to the curve of someone else. Especially when it's pretty plain language?
I'd be less annoyed if this wasn't a constant. I get it on twitter because you're seeing even less context but like. We aren't going to get anywhere if you lash out at people who kinda fit the curve of what other people in that given area of topics use.
I'm so tired of posting being like a samurai movie
I am not a professional writer, I have no editor, and I post mostly stream of consciousness but with that stream jumping around the page
please stop holding people to the standards of one when you could instead just talk to them.
edit: [there's a chance it was attached to like four tags up, in their head, but they seemed pretty separate clauses to me when I wrote them, sorry cohost doesn't allow linebreaks in tags I guess?
but half the time it's just instant block (so you can't even see the comment, just the notification for the comment) and it's like... you're never going to get to any sort of understanding of people if you're doing that on a ambiguous/mis-read -.-]
like, I can see how if you squint this can be seen as wishing death on the author/maintainers or something, except for the... qualifier.
the actual issue is that we're going to lose the people with the strongest opinions closest to the project and what will be left is strong opinions detached from the reality of the development of any given thing. but describing that in a tag would be a lot, so instead, I... qualified it with not wanting them to die?
this stuff happens WEEKLY and I am so tired of it. I get it, block me and move on, but at least have the decency to do it for motives I actually have, not words you put in my mouth.
