I wish people expressed more nuance in their opinions. However, online social networks are often not built to encourage nuance, and I feel like most people take nuance for a lack of self-confidence which they take in turn for a lack of authority.

This rant is total garbage.

This rant is super cool.

Upvoted for awareness.

People don't have time for nuance online. Quick and dirty reading and get in and out. People just flat out don't notice things that change over say a weeks time.

@Demolishun Agreed. Of course there are a lot of differences between an online social network and a physical discussion, but the interactivity is key I think: if I see a 100-line long comment, I will probably not bother to read. If someone IRL starts to talk to me about a deep theory that this person has, I will probably listen because I feel like I can interact with this person as their speech goes, instead of waiting until the end with so many parts of that speech to comment on

Some? You mean all. All social media is complete garbage and there's no wiggle room for the possible positives gained out of them.

@arcsector what are you doing here then? 😁

@nonox ..... lacking nuance?

@nonox I am here for entertainment. I have found that nuanced jokes are hard for people to get though. So I usually have to explain them in the comments. Also, sometimes that is to bait them into going into the discussion.

@arcsector Haha, maybe! But isn't Devrant a social network?

@nonox I'm saying my comment that generalizes all social media as being evil is lacking nuance, essentially proving your point in an ironic way, which was intentional
