A lot of it. I don’t go in for smalltalk and I come here to probe the wall of the bubble more or less exclusively. I like scifi ideas.
Some tell me that I’m just trying to sound smart. Some seem to be triggered. Some seem to get upset by even considering the subject. Sum that up and there’s like 1% left to talk to.
I’ve been aggressively blocking recently, pruning the mass down into something better. Seems to be working.
Well, don’t be surprised if people have a bad response to someone being rude/blunt/argumentative.
If you want to change minds you’re going to need to work on social skills, too.
Based on what you said your goal is I think you’re going to need to grow a thicker skin if you don’t plan on changing your approach, or you’ll need to work on your presentation and conversation skills if you want a more positive reaction from people.
Nice conversation takes conversation skills, or finding people that already think like you do. Based on this conversation it sounds like you’d prefer the latter.
I’m guessing I’m getting pruned, so have a good one buddy 👋
I have had people literally tell me that I am wrong and bad and cite the downvotes as evidence.
I recently had a post locked. The moderator cited “he got reports”, which are basically secret downvotes.

Rude, blunt and argumentative, eh? And change minds? I think we have different kinds of conversations.
No, I just want a nice conversation.
I find aggressive pruning makes the bush bloom better.

Lol. I’ve seen worse
