Given that I've been here for three years and you've been here 20 days I'm going to say I know a little bit more about it.
appeal to authority, classic.
Reddit-brain citing debate shit in a conversation. Classic.
Be more normal.
logical fallacies aren't "debate shit" they're poorly constructed arguments you resort to when you don't have a real argument.
They are debate shit when you throw them out in average conversation. Do you say this shit to your nan or a random person in the street? Fuck no you don't because you'd get lamped and called an absolute freak for it. Like I said - Be more normal.
ActivityPub was built for the express purpose of decentralising the net after the corporations had successfully enclosed and monopolised on what was originally a commons. It is literally called a commons-based protocol. Guess what's anti-commons? Corporate monopoly seekers.
It would be real fucking nice if people that have been here for a handful of days didn't suddenly try to wing-it as authorities on a topic they're barely familiar with. I welcome you, I really do, I welcome you to a space in which we are actively harming corporations. I do not welcome this reddit behaviour and I do not welcome this attitude where you think you need to pretend an ill-informed opinion gained in just days is everything. It's ok to say "I do not know enough about this to have an informed opinion". It's tiring.
Anyway, gonna block you for 24 hours now so we disengage from this shit and entirely unproductive back and forth. Later maybe.
do you just not know what logical fallacies are? do you not understand that just because something is decentralized doesn't mean it was designed to defeat centralized social media sites?
Is it worth arguing with someone. Claiming to have been here for 3 years on a week-old account? He cries about "Reddit-brained" while possibly account hopping like a redditor.
There's no worth to any of this. Trying to value how you waste your time is illogical.
