I don't doubt that you were doing it in good faith, but the execution was still in such a way that it is off-putting.
You have nothing of substance to contribute. Just "waaaaah your comment is more than a few sentences."
Say what you want, 11 paragraphs is objectively longer than what most people want to read on social media. 11 paragraphs is just annoying and unproductive.
You can see I'm right because literally everyone who isn't a hexbear is like wtf is this. It is bad communication.
In the time you've spent pissing and moaning about that comment you could have read it five times over.
That would be accepting it as good communication. My point is to not do that, because it is not good communication. I agree with you though, I could have.
You don't have to click the spoiler. It's literally one line you can easily scroll past, but some people who have more time might find it interesting.
Anyway it's a response to a pretty low-effort, unoriginal meme, the whole "proportional time" thing cuts both ways. I've added more to making these comments a meaningful, intelligent dialogue than OP did.
I will respectfully disagree that throwing in 11 paragraphs of some text without explanation adds to a meaningful dialogue
I will respectfully disagree that you can make that evaluation without knowing what the text actually says.
I get that the text might have some good and important meaning, but the format the meaning was delivered in spoils it.
Like, I would love it if someone gave me a million dollars. But do I want the million dollars in pennies? Not really lol
You're just complaining to complain at this point. Literally just scroll past if it's such a problem. All I did was lead you to water, I'm not forcing you to drink.
You choosing to die on this hill just makes me think of this lol
I'm just saying to package the words in a way that is comprehensible to the person reading it, and likely that they will.
I honestly don't doubt that there was some good content in it. But the audience you are talking to doesn't want the communication you are giving in that format. It comes off as annoying, and therefore not effective in communicating the message you want to deliver.
I'm over here delivering free marketing lessons to tankies lol.
I'm gonna go touch grass now. Good luck with stuff
Please do, anything else you could do can't be less productive than this.
Marketing lessons, lmao. You certainly have the intellectual depth of a puddle, my guy.
No one gives a shit about how much appeal our posting has for you. We're not trying to sell you anything. We're not even trying to cajole you into being a little less anti-intellectual and wilfully ignorant.
We'd rather just slap you down with a concise well cited historical source, just to make it abundantly clear to everyone else that you're an ignorant intellectually lazy non-entity who has no business getting involved. Stick to your monosyllabic social media communications, replying to the latest Facebook memes, and saying all the classic lines from Reddit.
We're not trying to get you to change, honestly I think you're much more entertaining this way. Only semi-literate and clearly too big for your boots. Please continue.
🤷♂️ it's all good my dude. If you don't want to learn how to communicate your message better, it's not my problem.
So what I'm getting is that you need to be sat down in front of a screen and have things explained to you in short, simple sentences, or else you panic and bolt.
You make it seem like theres a problem with that... i didnt come to a social media to read a textbook
No you come to social media to jump into threads about complex topics like history, philosophy, and politics...and then engage only thru simple thought-terminating cliches.
When someone quotes a relevant passage from a history book, you arrogantly dismiss it for being completely inappropriate for a "social media" site. What is appropriate here, of course, is you weighing in on these complex topics with the correct form of communication -- an incoherent series of monosyllabic words strung together.
Now that is productive communication.
I wish you luck on your continuing mission to convince yourself that you're the articulate master of communication here, actually.
Sorry can you dumb that down for me please
