Filter bubbles and idiots
Always bemused by brittle people who blog contentious things, and if you dare criticise what they say (rather than them, but quite often they project *personal* offence) it’s like ‘Get the Fuck Off My Blog!’? Eh?
Uhoh filter bubble? It seems to be common in this age to avoid those who oppose us, or contradict us and get all stompy and throw the toys out. It's not good...for discourse or anything. But it usually shows up how immature they are.
Then again, it's not worth bothering with those people, so it's all meat for my ban list (ironic I know given what I just said, but some people take it to extremes. For instance there's a certain redbearded person here who I find and add to my blocklist on every social media site. It's just peace of mind, since he's a bit of a entitled narcissistic sociopath, like all these airbags tend to be. An echo chamber inside their own head and on their blog/presence. But it's odd - why say it if you expect everyone to agree with you? Narcisstic games, ego trips....I'd rather not).
Funny thing is they quite often pretend to be the bad boys, swaggering and sweary like they don’t care. but then run off whimpering when challenged. Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk. And don't say contentious things, then expect *everyone* to agree with you, it's confirmation bias 101. Grow the fuck up.
I'm guessing this is why Twitter followers are called that, and how FB and LJ got it wrong with friends...it sadly seems many people want the former, not the latter.
Anyway LJ Drama is SO 2006...:-P

I've always had my comments here non-anonymous, and logging IP since the late 00's when casual homophobia was rife on LJ. Now you'd be lucky to get a spam post!

Maybe you are just not popular?
no subject
It's quite a useful feature to stop spam...you might want to try it. Tip's free! :-P
Am I popular? Dunno. Don't care. I got over stressing about numbers aeons ago, in my podcasting days. You might see I don't blog much anymore, and when I do it's friends only, and ditto on Twitter, and FB. The public stuff you or your friends are wading through for attack material like obsessives is actually a small portion of what I post. Why? Nothing to do with censorship, or bitching or 'being a coward' I said something about a personal friend once and he took it the wrong way, why my Twitter - the bigger account is private. So I have private and public spaces. Go figure.
