  • Different people react to different things. It takes many approaches to reach multiple types of humans.

    I personally reacted after months of being shown hypocrisy, with the tipping point being when I said there’s no problem with eggs and dairy before I was shown what the egg and dairy industries do.

    Part of that process was really realizing, not just knowing but consciously thinking about and considering the fact that humans are also meat. I am meat. The cats I loved were meat. My human family is meat. It’s not okay to eat them in a sandwich. Why is it okay to eat strangers in a sandwich?

    No one approach will work on every human, and many people take a lot of different approaches over time to really understand.




  • I gave you some from a girl to help balance things out!

    But I can promise you, from many years net positive on reddit and a not disimilar result here, that you’re not reading your own tone.

    Be mindful of the tone, only come off as combative against a near universally disliked topic, and know when you don’t care to curate yourself and are ready for the downvotes.

    Your wording here makes you out to be combative, and people are combative in response. Read your own comments as if they’re directed AT you. And look specifically at what’s likely to make you want to argue back. You may even be surprised at what can get net positive response with the right wording.

















  • So far as I know, they’re not shoving 20 ads in your face on every screen.

    I know they’re far from perfect. Heck they have a forced arbitration clause in their ToS.

    But compared to other services lately, Discord seems to mostly be trying to treat users as customers instead of products for advertisers. I’ll take it, and get some neat conveniences from Discord in turn.
