Comedian just means empathetic person with enough sadness about the topic to make it funny to make it easier to talk about.
It’s why conservative comedians don’t often work cause their comedy is not aimed at being relatable but about how much it pisses someone else off.
I call them a cunt and I get yelled at for being unprofessional in a social media platform and I get banned for them being an an instigator that purposefully states incorrect and inflammatory things.
It has happened. I’ve been called a lot of things and responding to it saying it’s bait from an asshole got me banned for like 7 days months ago on a lemmy.world news thread. The person got upvotes and praise for sticking up for themselves.
This platform likes the bad faith and calling them out is an attack on the in groups that like it. This is a large part here and why I think it’s bad at being a welcoming community.
I want it to move in a better direction not just pretend that it’s fine and ignore it. But I’m coming around to not caring. Not thinking about things seems to be standard, and safer for people’s lives.
LOL the comments telling the Verge to shut it’s mouth.
Also man France loves piracy. I apparently need to learn French better.
Way to late and it’s ridiculous she waited till desperation to take a good stance.
Do we have to? I’m ok with not having dessert if I can skip this one.
A vague question like yours does not imply you want an actual answer without dismissing it.
So why would I waste my time typing it out?
It holds just as much weight as your question so feels the same to me.
Wow that’s a new one… I knew the eating spiders was a myth I just didn’t realize they preferred the other end.
What’s wrong with wanting something else?
Thank you! I actually appreciate the honesty. That’s something I can work with.
Maybe, hopefully.
I don’t think it is far different from the snark I see but I don’t think I should emulate that I guess if I hate it when done to me. I just don’t like having to take the high road just cause I apparently invite it.
What a privileged take of an author thinking that’s the base level of suffering of a person they don’t know.
I understand that I’m not the intended audience since I can’t afford to have my broken tooth fixed but than maybe the author should have left this as an audience of just themselves.
What a twat.
Yeah the topics aren’t necessarily the problem it’s how it’s not a conversation most of the time it’s just snarky fighting to be the most right or up voted cause they act like they are right.
I would hope it’s not these topics making people shutty or else that doesn’t bode well for them.
Why is it generic if it’s how I feel? Isn’t that just a way to claim people upset are wrong? The generic thing seems to be liking it. I’m just pointing out some of the awareness at least of what we are surrounded by anyways that doesn’t seem true for people in the gardening community with a huge house in the suburbs.
I have stuff I like. I just get stuck between young people panicking about existence in a shit world and gen x ignoring it with memes from 3 decades ago in here.
Yeah it’s annoying it’s the majority of conversations in here, but I don’t going around assuming people are neck beards help gets us off that.
What? If you got stuff say it.
Same way in the infinite random non repeating numbers of Pi is the binary of a 4k resolution photo of Betty White nude holding a snake on a tiger.
It’s random forever and eventually the 1s and 0s fall into place. The problem is the monkeys repeating themselves.
Yeah I was already upset by that point and they started by still doubting that I just wanted to ask a question and called me a bullshitter…
But it’s my point. It makes conversations a fight to be right more than a conversation with no backing off.
And by the end it just becomes 2 people being awful to each other for spectators.
It feels bad from my perspective and I don’t learn anything.
I think the platform inspires snark and winner takes all mentality.
Asking the bullied to conduct themselves carefully is exactly my point why I don’t like this place.
You are assuming the conversations that I’m upset about but it’s ones where I ask a question and get told I’m trolling and a liar for not knowing something or a liar for knowing something.
I shared details about physics of material fabrication in space once in a thread had a person just “nuh-uh” me and call me names and then people all agreed with him despite the fact that I tried to point I had a dual major in theoretical astrophysics and Astro xenobiology.
Like whoever gets the people laughing and speaks like they have a big enough dick around here is still right by default. That isn’t a community it’s a cesspit.
I just hate the idea of blocking people for one time being a jerk. I’ve disagreed with people then agreed with them later.
I dunno I seem to want something that might not exist? It sure as heck feels lonely.
They like to watch modern movies and shows that aren’t marvel, usually have good takes on influencera in here and have the right hate for vtubers.
Plus I think they are just closer to my age and social awkward nerds that are easy to call neckbeards. I’m not gonna get pop culture references of Gen X who seem to make a majority in here.
Yeah I think I’ve realized I’m really only seeing the basic big theads on lemmy.world and the moderation there is kill or be killed and whatever the mods giggle at is allowed. Which means they let dogpiling happen if it seems deserved.
I’m apparently in a rather small instance.
So wait till it’s too late and be blamed for being against the obvious issues and path of pain we are on? As if our statements and warnings are what made them true instead of a desperate plea from clearer exterior perspectives?
Cause that makes it seem inevitable and that the oracle Cassandra is not a fluke but a constant of humanity to have the prophetic ignored and hurt for it.
