For example, if I talk about "magic", most of you will tell me I'm wrong without even asking me what I mean. You might even insult me.

How common is this? How much of this conversation is actual communication vs just a string of triggering phrases that we react to?

How much of Lemmy is people just barking at their own echo?

Magic isn't real is the default, if you're going to come into a Marxist materialism based area of the internet how can you be so shocked people are like what no magic is bullshit there's no basis for it in material reality

Are you really surprised with how that thread went?

And yeah, that's what most of the internet is, people are anonymous and here to entertain themselves for the most part it's very common for people to not be the most considerate.

Whats the real point of this post? I'm pretty sure you knew all that already, is this just a subtweet?

We're talking about some kind of noncommunication posing as communication mass psychosis here. Discuss
