> repeatedly denying what a person was saying Was what that person were saying false and worth denying?

@lonelyowl This is not a thing that matters. Pushing an unwarranted conversation on a mentally unstable person is wrong, however you cut it. And by the way, they were absolutely right about Nazi dogwhistles, which there were.

Interesting way of thinking š¤ I'm also pretty much mentally unstable, though i'm usually take my own responsibility to get out of any chat or conversation that makes me feel like a shit.
Dr. Quadragon ā
@lonelyowl Of course, your experience is universal and can be applied to everybody on the planet. Not. Mental illness comes in all shapes and colours. Not everybody can control themselves at all times. You need to understand that in order to be a halfway decent human being.

Not like i don't agree with the statement that trolling mentally unstable weirdos is bad even if they say act silly. You're just the first person i've ever heard say that. Most people don't care about that, even "the decent human beings". They act the way they wish anyway, and i'm used to it, it is something i expect from everyone š¤

> You're just the first person i've ever heard say that. Well, may be, you need to talk to different people more then. I don't think that this stance is any sort of novel or radical.

While reading today's infamous thread, I also thought about how we should interact with mentally unstable people on social platforms.

@SignPainter @drq @lonelyowl The problem is that the post -factual is clear who is what is sick. This is not immediately clear in the moment

@dettlaff true. I was not aware of that person, so I had to go through their page to figure that out.

@lonelyowl@lor.sh @drq@mastodon.ml @dettlaff@mastodon.ml normalize actually gtfo'ing of the thread when being told so |
@lonelyowl Whether intended or not, what he did was repeatedly denying what a person was saying, which amounted to pushing a conversation that goes nowhere onto a mentally unstable person, instead of just finishing it before it got out of hand.
This is wrong, and @dettlaff should feel ashamed.
