🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
curious. i see some old school people breeze through and talk of the old days, i came in when reddit shut down the_donald.
Yes thats the beauty. As they read the new drops, they brings questions and we have a chance to re go over the drops with them. We get to check our work and have fresh eyes peer review it. However I don't think doing that for the sake.of doing it should necessarily be what we all are doing. I honestly feel we need to be forward thinking a little more rather than in a reactive state we currently are in. Yes we wanna still analyze the news as it comes, because we are the news...however we can begin thinking to arrest, past arrest, to the chaos and past the chaos. To what part we play, this place plays in the future.
Also as far as it being an echo chamber. I truly believe most outside the box thinking can be shared. U just gotta really get creative how u do it and do it in love.
Most dissenting comments get a lazy downvote if it doesn't jibe with their thinking.
That's not really what a downvote is for in my opinion.
Discussion should be the outcome of dissenting opinions and increasingly it just isn't the case here.
Of course there are still great discussions to be had within this framework, and some of the pitfalls of voat are avoided by operating in this manner.
Two different worlds I suppose
So I partially agree with you. I believe people should definitely seek to engage in more constructive discussions with the views they might not believe. Doing it in a loving way that furthers dialogue..As far as downvotes... I think thick skin is a super important layer to any truth spread person. If we let a downvote discourage discussion then how much more will we allow it to effect us in real life, when people begin to allow emotions to flow as we share truth. It's all part of the building up the digital warriors. It all plays a part. Even those here to discourage us thru downvotes(as in that's there only purpose) are really only building up a stronger digital warriors that can then begin spreading truth in the world.
Also it's kind of a lead by example thing to. People notice our actions. So the more than seek to have that dialogue then the more that will want to join in. Sometimes I simply take the outsider approach even if I agree with the current topic taking place.
