And yes, I know people will say block keywords and communities, but people don't understand some communities have rules and people must follow them.

Sigh, counting is just too much for some people. Turns out c/showerthoughts has more than one rule: must be showerthought. That is rule 1 but you'll notice rule 3 is quite clear:

6594

And they even offer an alternative appropriate community right there. So, y'know fuck off and stuff.

    You are very angry about this. I’m conversing about the post here, I haven’t said a thing in showerhoughts. Doesn’t mean I don’t have an opinion.

    Have a lovely day friendo.

    Well, "the post here" is talking about posting political things in showerthoughts, a community with a rule saying "no politics," and yes I'm very angry that I can't even get a short respite from politics even where it's disallowed by name. It's incredibly annoying and contributing to political burnout not just for me but many others here too. You repeating the same line as those that ignore the community rules, "it's happening regardless," isn't super helpful, and on a post where they're all here defending their evangelism, yeah you came off as defending it too.

    I don't care if "it's happening regardless," when I go to c/dogpics to avoid it for a brief break I don't need it there too, thus cheating me out of my break. It's the internet equivalent of my boss making me work through my break at work and it's just as annoying. Have all the opinions you want, just don't post them in some community with "no opinions" in the sidebar and we're all good.

    You have a nice day too pal.

    So don’t do the thing you seem incapable of doing and do not engage with it. I never forced you to read my posts, and this is a public forum where people can downvote to their hearts content.

    The reason I’m even mentioning it is as a discussion. I’m not doing it, but I am also observant enough of human nature to know some rules on the side of the page won’t do shit. Just like the politics, either do something about it or ignore it.

    Otherwise good luck changing reality.

    I'm capable both of wanting a place to escape politics, and talking about how such spaces should be respected, and when the evangelists aren't spreading their gospel where it doesn't belong I can sometimes actually visit such spaces. This is the "talking about how such spaces should be respected" part, which happens to be on topic for the post about how such spaces should be respected. Nice try hun.

    I get that you do, so downvote, get yourself an instance and ban accounts that break the rules, I’m 100% for it.

    My initial post I was both agreeing with the comment about the sentiment, that they shouldn’t have to be confronted with it. The rest was an attempt to illustrate why it’s human nature and inevitable. I ended it saying I’m sorry assholes do it. I meant it both politically and in support of the sentiment.

    So you attack and swear at me when I agree but happen to acknowledge that it’s going to fucking happen and suggest you learn to ignore it.

    Grow the fuck up.

    Oh I do downvote it a lot and ignore as much as I can, but on a post about it where it is being discussed I think it's appropriate to discuss it. And so, discussion.

    Murder is "going to fucking happen" too, doesn't mean I have to "just ignore it bro" instead of saying "murderers are dicks and should stop murdering."
