This kind of attitude comes hand-to-hand with performative virtue signalling. Minimizing the extent of political involvement makes any hobby or interest infinitely more enjoyable and less toxic, and I find it regrettable that people are less able to engage in communities centered around technology without flaunting their political tribal allegiances.
- bo0tzz 1y agoI agree that if people were able to keep their hate out of these spaces they would be much more pleasant for people to engage in.
- nathanaldensr 1y agoThat's not what either parent said, which you're well aware of. What you call "hate" others call "opinions" or is just completely unrelated to the topic at hand. Not everyone needs to care about what you care about in the same way. We're allowed to have differences and we're allowed to not care about those differences in some contexts in life.
- bo0tzz 1y agoI'm not opposed to people having different opinions. What I am opposed to is people making a space actively hostile to others and hiding behind their "freedom of opinion".
- jauntywundrkind 1y agoI enjoy when people show social conscious & tie it to their work. Trying to work within the framework of the world & communicating your aspirations & hopes is great. > Minimizing the extent of political involvement makes any hobby or interest infinitely more enjoyable and less toxic, Citation needed. Why? I don't feel this at all. It's great to see virtue sang forth, imo.
