I'm not here making some value statement about the importance of eye contact or whatever, for the record. do what u want, lots of people don't like direct eye contact, it could well be enought to look generally at people's faces most of the time, and it's a pretty intricate social tool, I'd argue. I'm not qualified to give complicated eye contact takes

You seem to have a lot of pent up frustation about something.

You should consider looking into that.

They come here and start immediately doing the exact same corpo-backed garbage they ALWAYS do. Goes to show you that they cannot survive different environments without the basic life support of moderation telling them what is and what is not acceptable.

Pitiful.

@Owl @can What are they coming here for? What did reddit do exactly?

[–] reloadedAK@poa.st 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@Boomerman @Owl @can It's a hissy fit because Reddit is killing off most of the 3rd party apps because of API reasons or whatever I would reckon
