Why do people seem to think I'm saying that Meta was blocking conservatives? Are Lemmykins that bad at comprehension or are they too just egged along by the rage machine to the point where they can't think clearly?
Because those are the literal words you used?
So comprehension then. Thanks!
IDK dog if this many people misunderstood my point I'd be trying better not doubling down on blaming them but you do you
I'm happy to accept that there are a lot of stupid people on Lemmy, particularly the politics communities.
If you err, it is not correct to blame everyone else. Lest you want to commit fallacies
I did not err.
Okay, but it seems there are a few disagreeing with it
As they pointed out - reading comprehension issues.
everybody else is wrong, surely
Only those who replied. Many didn't who likely read better.
There were many articles about conservatives saying that meta was blocking them. Twitter too. Show me how I "erred".
You erred. Communication is two-way. It's okay, I err sometimes. It happens. Pedantry isn't the answer.
I see you agree that I'm right and were glad to admit it. Thanks!
lol
Because your literal words were "the same article but about how meta was blocking conservatives." Please tell the class how saying "meta was blocking conservatives" does NOT mean "Meta was blocking conservatives."
I used other words around those ones too. So comprehension is the issue. Thanks!
Damn dude you must suck at parties
There weren't articles about conservatives claiming meta was blocking them?
