Beautiful post. I am already foreseeing linking to it in a heated discussion, this is rock solid.

That's a good guess. I reported a few bigots and now my feed is mostly normal, which is much better.

Never believe random quotes you see on the Internet

• Vladimir Illich Lenin, 1922.

They should stop trying to do everything at once. This whole game of trying to maintain a huge server is nonsense for such a small team. I believe they should drop it completely and focus on improving the protocol and technologies around it to make it smoother for people to host their own servers.

Being so agressive over someone else's cluelessness is not OK. Imagine if teachers in schools were that punitive over children solving problems wrongly, kids would never have learnt anything.

I didn't claim that politeness makes one's assumption correct all of a sudden, I was pointing out that it was an indicator that OP was not being trolled and could've presented their disagreement not in the form of drama, enlighten the other side of the discussion and have a nice day.

You are literally putting words in that person's mouth. They were suggesting therapy as a good idea before medical transition and expressed their opinion in a polite, elaborative way. And here you go running around claiming that they push the message that therapy should be required, that they make someone unable to transition without going to therapy etc.

You don't have to be so defensive when you're arguing with someone who doesn't threaten neither youin particular nor any group of people in general. You could've expressed your disagreement politely and go mind your day, but you chose to stir up all this drama.

That person doesn't gatekeep anyone and their reply to you clearly shows that they engage in good faith.

It depends. In some cases it is better to keep your head cool to make more weighed decisions

There's a lot of literature on the work of Soviet partisans. Some survival guides from three letter agencies of different countries were leaked. I'd "arm" myself with those (and actually arm myself with real guns if I will have access to them) and move to the forest. Forests and mountains are an excellent terrain type to go into hiding with both cover and natural resources to keep you going

Jesus, westerners are something else. What else would be lost from a truce other than territory temporarily?

Dude, wtf?! That is a shitty analogy. Country's territories can be brought back in the future. Tens of thousands dead— can not. This economy cannot sustain the pressure of war and a demographic pit and it could use even a temporary truce. Agitating to keep grinding everything down in the hope that some day Russia might fall (it haven't for 3 years already and doesn't seem to be on the verge of that anywhere soon) is the analogy to what a rapist does to a human.
