    That may be true in other forums, but in the fediverse, both I and the community are actors, and the posts here are messages to us.

    And I’m not particularly offended. I figured it out eventually. It just isn’t a particularly fun time.

      No, the fediverse supports tagging users. Comment threads can be used for a conversation but should not be confused with direct messages, which are generally private. It’s a community conversation where anyone can jump in at any point.

      It’s true in pretty much all forums, federated or not.

          Your request that people be more pleasant implies they were being unpleasant. They weren’t, unless you’re Hegseth. As you said, you’re misinterpreting their comment.

          I don’t think you know what a non-sequitor is.

          At this point I’m dropping out as this is not productive and you’re becoming very combative. It’s a bit ironic considering your request for politeness.

          I agree, I was being critical. However, I was trying to do so in a constructive way. It’s obviously not constructive for you.
