Don't make it personal. It's not.
- JohnFen 1y agoI'm not sure what you mean by this. I don't think it's personally aimed at me. But it does make Reddit unpleasant and less than useful, so I stopped using it. That's a personal decision for sure, same as every decision about what I'm willing to tolerate is personal.
- alganet 1y agoYou made it personal: you left it because you don't like it anymore. I am not talking about that kind of thinking. I totally understand why you would be encouraged to think that everyone that does it would do it for the same reasons as you. However, I'm offering an explanation that roots the critique in a more reasonable ground. To me, HN displays the same level of degradation of discourse. If you think the way I think you think, the decision to stay here and leave reddit would seem impossible to understand. Instead of encouraging to see it as a personal choice, I encourage you to try to understand why someone would do that.
- JohnFen 1y ago> You made it personal: you left it because you don't like it anymore. So wait, you're taking exception to someone on the internet expressing a personal opinion? > I totally understand why you would be encouraged to think that everyone that does it would do it for the same reasons as you. I don't think that at all. I'm very confused by your comments. I don't know what you're getting at here or why you seem to be offended.
