Irl I often repeat what other people say in my own words and ask them if that's what they believe. It both helps me understand where they're coming from and confirm I get them

On the Internet I almost never do.

Communication is a two way street. You can be as explicit as you want but if people are trying to win an argument instead of have a discussion they're going to misconstrue what you're saying more often than not.

So what you’re saying is you make shit up and then when people deny it, you look at them all smug like “I told you so”?

See the problem with your comment is that it's indistinguishable from something the average Lemmy user would actually say in an argument, so it's very hard to tell if it's sarcasm

Brother, dude is just a parrot walking across a keyboard. He's not capable of active malice.
