    That might be relevant if my point wasn’t the hostility, rather than the disagreement. I don’t give a shit if you disagree with me - you’re allowed to believe whatever you want.

    The hostility costs this place users, and this is a thread about advertising for more users.

    Perhaps consider reading the entire comment before posting.

      Lemme cap this: showing a defensive (or counteroffensive) posture against people who sport passive support for genocide “costs users”… and not wanting those users is somehow bad?

      Sounds quite simple math to me: while we could mayhap be advertising for more users, we don’t need to cater to everyone.

          Disagreeing with someone saying there is a genocide happening, when there is indeed one happening, is not just a matter of opinion, it is effectively denying the suffering of thousands, or giving it some legitimacy. You can’t just complain about hostility when your opinion, whether consciously or not, carries its own share of violence.

            That’s your mistake.
