"I'm just going to let people be wrong on the internet" remains the single most difficult New Year's Resolution I have ever made, hands down.

@evacide I have deleted more replies than I’ve posted in the last 24 hours, by a wide margin, and I’m definitely happier for it

[gavin57@toot.wales]

@evacide It is much harder now they have automated being wrong on the internet. The volume of wrongness is growing exponentially.

[stinerman@mastodon.social]

@evacide that doesn't sound very difficult...

(this is me being wrong on the internet so you can let me be wrong and feel good about meeting your resolution)

@alienghic @evacide i’m dead before the causality

@evacide
& the consequences will never be the same!!! `w;7[)

@evacide
Or let them be stupid is my issue
It happened today........again

[meanderer@mas.to]

@evacide Mood. I just clicked off a streamer who said we stopped going to the moon because of too many accidents.

@gavin57 @evacide it has become easier for me because I know just how pointless(-er) it is

[nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social]

@evacide Gandalf was captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise during the early years until his encounter with the Balor, upon which the elf Spock reigned for a while.

I may have gone too far with this. My life may be in danger.

[securitywriter@infosec.exchange]

@evacide I mean there’s a clear loophole here… it says nothing about not *telling them* why they’re wrong on the internet…

But I agree, I failed quickly.

[darkmatterzine@mastodon.social]

@evacide IMO it became easier when, years ago, foul men living in the USA posted sh*t about me (“How dare an Australian woman start a zine without our permission and mentoring?!”) and I learnt that they WANTED an online fight and to be named. They were FURIOUS when I took all identifiers & links to them off my website. Many ppl are like that: they want the engagement. The best punishment you can mete out is to ignore and even block.

@alienghic @evacide

Omg. The irony of this meme considering Chalamet’s recent problematic comments.

[olle_gladso@mastodon.social]

@evacide I know....

[violet@fedi.lesbianforest.club]

@evacide Two things make this easier for us:

• The people who are shouting aren't here to listen.
• The work that is education of randos on the internet is, fortunately, not my responsibility. If they're nice I'll help because I'm also nice, otherwise its their problem.

Dumb-problematic or boycott-problematic?

[evelynoctavia@c.im]

@evacide oh yea, nobody can perfectly prevent mistakes from happening

[joscelyntransient@chaosfem.tw]

@evacide I have been getting better at just not commenting…and instead stewing about it for the next 48 hours driving myself nuts

[npars01@mstdn.social]

@evacide

If freedom is something you value, then the freedom to be wrong is part of that.
