  • Does ring true dunnit?

    Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”

    and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”

    and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.



  • Hope we’re big enough to that to happen someday heh

    Even if we verified with social security (govt. ID) numbers, there’d still be astroturfers. Even with IRL KYC (e.g. must be invited by an existing user who swears they met you in meatspace), there still would be. Ahhh!!! We decide where we’ll marry the love of our lives, the retirement community we’ll put grandma in, where we want to vacation or just share lunch based on online reviews/discourse. Badly wish we had a fix.
