I'm not here making some value statement about the
importance of eye contact or whatever, for the record. do
what u want, lots of people don't like direct eye contact, it
could well be enought to look generally at people's faces
most of the time, and it's a pretty intricate social tool, I'd
argue. I'm not qualified to give complicated eye contact
takes
And no one hates reddit more than users of reddit.
And yet here you are. On an instance made to look like Reddit. Because you all dearly miss Reddit but want to do some hecking wholesome performative activisim. And you have made your problem into my problem. And you refuse to stop acting and speaking like Redditors.
You all clearly miss Reddit and you'll be back there once your hissyfit is done and you realize you can't do it as well as Reddit is doing it, and you'll put up with whatever the CEO tells you all that you're going to put up with and you'll like it because you're all corpo bootlickers anyway.
I have a feeling it will be a short stay and you're all going to go back to Reddit in a matter of days and say "h-heh yeah remember the Fediverse it sucks they actually let other people there say nigger, unreal, I-I didn't invest any time in it whatsoever."
They come here and start immediately doing the exact same corpo-backed garbage they ALWAYS do. Goes to show you that they cannot survive different environments without the basic life support of moderation telling them what is and what is not acceptable.
