okay, working on it.
when I post I think my comments are intended to spark introspection, are accurate, and merely lack consensus here, at the moment.
the only things flagged instead of discussed are regarding things that affect disproportionately overrepresented communities here. suggests that community moderation is not impartial or that the comments arent inherently against site guidelines.
- dang 3y agoAppreciated. It seems to me that you might be confusing your intent with the effects your comments are likely to have. I believe you that your intent is to spark introspection, but when you do it with snark and flamebait (as in the GP), that's definitely not what we're going to get, in the median case. This is a common problem—most people who post flamebait comments have quite a different intent in their mind than what ends up coming across to the reader. The trouble is that the rest of us don't have access to your intent—you have to disambiguate it for us.
