I suppose that specifically I am wondering if there are any things you do to perhaps:
- stay calm
- calm the other person down
- get them to understand you better
- understand their point of view
- diffuse trolls
- just be a good person who wants to participate in a conversation that enhances your understanding of others, different cultures, and the world and how it works
Lemmy overall seems to really struggle with sarcasm. So if you see something that’s so ridiculous don’t freak out, and try interpreting it as such.
You can say that again, I dropped the “/s” when saying that it’s always 50-50 chance whether you win or lose since there’s only two options, and people thought I were serious.
