I was in an incident, which I explained elsewhere, that led to people complaining about me in YTPB and by extension in Ask Lemmy. Then, when sharing my perspective, I was asked by those to whom I shared it to share it in YPTB only for those in charge there to give what amounts to a signal of not caring about said perspective, just the one that is there. So I’m going to share it here instead.
Look, I gotta be real here.
I’m not sure why, but your ability to write things that can be understood is not great.
I’ve been going though the things you linked, other comments and such, and it’s a jumbled mess. I know that’s not going to be easy to take without it feeling like some kind of attack, but there it is.
I run into a problem where something works right in my head, but once it’s out loud or on screen, it doesn’t scan right. Normally I’ll go through and edit things into a better state, but even that doesn’t work out every time, and I’m a published author. So I completely get where you’re doing your best and it’s just not working. Langage be herd to rite, you dig?
I’m coming into this with wanting to give the benefit of the doubt, and maybe figure out what the issue is, but I keep running into trouble having to guess what you mean. Even this post is jumbled to the point I’m not certain exactly what you’re saying.
Which means there’s a decent possibility that no matter what you meant, the way you went about saying things was just not clear enough.
For real, go back and try looking at your words and see if there’s a better way to write it out, it might help.
The truth we all wanted to speak💀🙏
You say that like it’s the end of the world. You could be like the other person who said that here and ask for something to be paraphrased, as could also have been asked to an AI given it’s grammatically correct. I don’t know if the issue was fixed, but they haven’t said anything, and the reaction seems to be satisfactory enough that the combination of things cited as causing this (culture, neurodivergence, and the level of nuance in the situations behind something) don’t seem to have taken hold. Though due to all of this, I wonder how intellectual one could call this community, which mentions an interest in philosophical/political manifestos and sometimes CS Lewis content but suggest they wouldn’t understand the syntax norms in them (which probably wouldn’t be understood by an AI, since it’s semantic correctness that matters while everything else is a matter of viewer calculation), and many sometimes do pretend to not understand something as a way to avoid having to say it was onto something (and, in the words of an author I like, they cannot deny/justify it), which is also why someone else had a similar exchange when he started a discussion that mixed things we both wanted to get across. I experience this often, and the susceptibility to people misunderstanding me is rarely consistent with everything else (as in selective), especially when I ask “what part do you not understand” and all I get are a barrage of thumbs downs with no actual response, so take that as you may (though a few times I learned often that, in this massive pool of knowledge, I’m communicating with people in the middle of a smoke who warned nobody, something further suggested by the fact those who understand me the best just happen to be those under the legal drug age, as odd as that sounds but which some of the cross-community reactions this week reveal).
Give me a sentence and I will elaborate on everything surrounding it.
My guy, you gotta learn to use paragraphs.
Maybe take a step back and consider if perhaps people are alienated from you not because they are inferior to you intellectually, but because you treat them as if they are. Your comment is a rambling mess that uses a tone and vocabulary that does not endear you to anyone.
Who ever said I thought people were intellectually inferior to me? Like who? I’m the last person to do that (heck I cheated my way out of my high school finals), I’m just saying people shouldn’t give up once something gets too elaborate. That and maybe work with me when I try to negotiate or work my way to a resolution. You know, as opposed to giving nothing more than a thumbs down to questions that try to address the thing people are stumped by.
When you say “that does not endear you to anyone”, a thought that comes to mind is the possibility of how many people are judging a book by its cover, and/or thinking they can read between the lines when whatever is between them is all in their head. Especially in a world where people complain of culture shock, it’s kind of inconsiderate in its own way.
I get you may be neurodivergant, though I have no idea how/why or to what degree, but what normally happens here is that people ‘read between the lines’. I’m not certain reading between the lines i necessary here because you have been pretty blatant.
You’re basically saying the community is pretending to be intelligent by latching onto certain media. You also say, very clearly, that the community is incapable or parsing that medias content.
Intentional or not your message is clear; you believe the community are less intelligent than you, aren’t “true” fans of the media, and couldn’t understand that media even if they were fans.
That could be true, you might be the smartest person in the room, though I have my doubts.
I have the pleasure of being friends with several individuals who are at least one deviation above myself on the intelligence scale and they communicate differently, but that doesn’t mean your communication style is good, or that people will be receptive to your attitude.
