I'm not surprised, but you can't forget that a lot of people on reddit don't really post or comment a lot. I myself was one of them, I'm way more active here than I ever was on reddit though.

[–] spike@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same.

I feel like the people here are way more open for discourse, which makes it a lot less scary to voice your thoughts.

Still haven't posted anything though, I'm not a conversation starter, but rather a participant. XD

The reddit hivemind would do that to you

On Reddit if you post anything opposite the hive mind it goes off the rails. If they are talking turkey for thanksgiving and you post ham, the reaction was that as if you murdered their only child.

Here people just ask questions and converse like they normally would in the real world.

I credit my 12 years on reddit with my ability to create airtight defenses towards anything in my daily life.

Yeah but then you risk looking like you’ve had too many conversations with difficult 12 yr olds among your peers and start missing the overall points of the conversation. Reddit fighting lacks this emotional intelligence. It’s not a good look on adults in adult conversations where not every conversation is a defence but listening. And sometimes it’s just venting where a person might not even be in the right but that’s not what that conversation is about. RL is not about ‘winning’ a conversation as it is on Reddit.

Sure, if you apply it to literally everything, but I meant that it comes in handy when I'm being questioned. The joys of not fitting a stereotype for senior roles in the workplace 🐸

The boar’s head in hand bring I,
Bedeck'd with bays and rosemary.
I pray you, my masters, be merry
Quot estis in convivio
Caput apri defero
Reddens laudes Domino

Yeah but you're also also not contributing to the horde of data that they can sell to the AI companies. So your account isn't useful to them.

They are boasting now but they know they're done for.

I can't imagine this stock price is going to be anyway near what they wanted to be when the IPO comes in. Assuming it now happens at all.
