Haven’t been able to find one I’m confident about. Seems like they’ll all either ban me or have no reach/no momentum. Is it worth continuing to try this one, like they might actually not ban me? Is there a different one I should be trying instead?
Should I just immediately block everyone that replies in bad faith and tell them to try me on nostr so I’m not stopping them from talking to me but I also can’t get “banned for insults” ?
I don’t know what a rightoid or a chud is, but here are a few pointers I hope are useful to you.
You are free to insult as many people on the internet as you please. You will not be very popular though, for that is generally frowned upon.
When speaking to strangers online keep in mind basic netiquette, and “read the air” per say.
The world does not revolve around the USA
I’m waiting for the internet to have more people mentally healthy enough to not judge someone for appropriate use of insults.
Don’t understand this.
The US is the seat of the global petrodollar economy
What I mean is: there is a place and a time. Don’t expect to enter a completely random bar insulting everyone and their mother and come out unscathed. On the other hand, if you know the people in this bar and you are the best of friends, then by all means, they might even merrily punch back with something from their repertoire.
The internet is similar, don’t expect everyone to be your same age, gender and nationality.
We are strangers, we do not know each other, I mean no ill will towards you and I hope you don’t either. I respect you by acknowledging you as a sentient and intelligent person with wants and needs equally as important as my own. I will not throw insults at you because in most human cultures (If not all) insulting a person you do not know is a social taboo. If you break that social convention you become an antagonist, and by your unwillingness to participate in society you turn yourself into an outcast.
This might sound cool for a 14 year old, but I urge you to imagine yourself in a remote area of the world at the mercy of an unknown civilization. I hope (for your own sake) that your first instinct is to appear as friendly and as least threatening as possible.
[TL;DR] Don’t be a jerk on the internet and then complain about everyone banning you.
I’m not the one starting shit here. I was clear about that. The issue is that places where a rule is “no insults” always seem to mean “no defending yourself from other people’s insults” not “nobody is allowed to insult you”
