This one, that I just started.
The commenter after me ties their shoelaces very well, and I’m jealous.

There’s actual a great, short TED talk on tying shoes and the strong form of the typical knot used.

You can peruse my history. I ask a lot of clarifying questions to understand what people mean before I criticize their position.
Do you ever get burned out on people not starting out in good faith? Like I used to enjoy back and forth, but a while ago I gave up because the majority are super defensive instead of inquisitive.
- PeepinGoodArgs ( @PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com ) English1•7 months ago
That’s exactly why I ask clarifying questions.
Bad faith arguers usually won’t answer a question because then they’d have to reveal they’re arguing in bad faith. But that ends up being the tell anyway.
There was a recent instance where I asked someone if they really supported free speech, which they arguing for in response to a Canadian policy that would criminalize calling for genocide. Really supporting free speech meant permitting calls for genocide against a group that included them.
They never answeres the question about whether they supported calls for genocide that might include them. I asked them twice.
In that case, it’s easy enough to just stop responding to anything they say. They’ve outed themselves by not participating in the conversation.
Anything you are particularly proud of?

These are just some random threads I saved. As others have pointed out, niche communities are (usually) the least toxic. Applies to any site or chatroom.
