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?

That question is a valid one in certain contexts but has nothing to do with anything I just said, so I'm not sure why you're asking me

~~I'm asking you because OP is indistinguishable from a troll where as I respect you and I'm curious how you reconcile this issue.~~

edit: on the other hand, this is clearly not a reasonable space to ask you to talk about this stuff. I'm disengaging too.

It's valid in this exact context, everything you said was stupid

Disengage

Isn't declaring "disengage" just a way to ensure you get the last word? Feels very Reddit-coded to me.

If you wanted the conversation to end, perhaps you shouldn't reply?

...have you ever even read the rules of the site? Wtf?
