There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.


Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!


Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐Ÿ‰.

Why are people quick to ban or block because a comment makes them angry, rather than engage, debate or respectfully strongly disagree and leave the discussion at that?

Why can't people handle talking with someone who has a completely different view who can explain why they are against something that was said?

How do you handle it when you are out in public and someone insults you, do you fight them or do you go somewhere else?

We were discussing "Why are people quick to ban or block" those terms only relate to online spaces. Please don't try to change the topic to real life interactions, I would hate to think you are being disingenuous in this debate, I know how much that offends you.

It speaks to the broader context of personal character and how stunted someone is because they react emotionally, not able to control their words, have self control, and trying to win, not having dialogue.

For example, resorting to mocking, sarcasm, or insults proves an intellectual defect.

And you are an example of people it's better to block them engage with.
