No, I’m not naive for being a good samaritan. It’s called being a fucking normal social animal you broken fuck. Why do you think our society is falling apart?

I swear to god, capitalism has turned people into the most miserable, narcissistic fucks. No, I’m not trying to trick or manipulate you. No I’m not stupid. I just don’t want to live in a world where everything is transactional and we can’t just help each other. A world where everyone is a selfish asshole is depressing and stressful. It’s fucking insulting when people assume I’m not genuine.

      this reaction seems really off base and excessive. it reads like you just had some bad interaction before you came here and it’s still fresh in your mind, but not quite applicable to the thread.

      dirt_owl is complaining about people who view non-selfish actions with contempt. I’ve interacted with people like that, they really are annoying. On the other hand, you seem to be complaining about people who demand trust from others, but dirt owl’s not doing that. Dirt owl’s not saying “i demand to be treated like a good samaritan.” They’re just saying “don’t look down on me if I act like one.”

      As far as I can tell, this is a case of miscommunication

      says using mean words makes me an unsafe person

      Uses the the exact same words against me

      Lmao okay then

      demanding people assume you’re genuine

      How unreasonable for me to demand people take me at face value. How dare I force people to make up untrue bullshit about me in their heads and treat me like someone I’m not. How dare I checks notes “just don’t want to live in a world where everything is transactional and we can’t just help each other.” Truly I must be some kind of narcissistic monster.

      If you live in the west, one of those fits you. Since you’re on the techbro instance? I’m just gonna err on the side of all of them, plus a couple our avian friend was polite enough to not fuckin list. Next time you wanna run your mouth, do it on your main.

          Mmmmhm said some shit and couldn’t stand on it huh. Like I said. Do it from your main.

          Y’know, unless your main already got banned from this fed for some fuckery you’ve pulled. Cause as it stands rn, Ion’t believe no fuckin month old account with only ten comments but still running their mouth at a long-time poster of this federation is somebody’s main.

            Actually learned about federations earlier this year from my wife when Reddit banned third party apps and have only been using them since she practically made it mandatory after the election last month
