People aren't that great online at hearing what you mean not what you're saying. The implications normally drawn by assuming the other person is either of basic intelligence or aware of the context are thrown out the window in favor of Internet points.

It's exhausting. Sometimes that's why I like mastodon or twitter or threads or nostr. Whatever pick your poison. Point is I want to say my fucking piece and not have to add all this extra context so the other person doesn't call me an idiot on some niche part of what I said.

Thinking about it from the commenters perspective: People online need to go back to just saying what they actually meant to say without prefacing everything. If that happened we'd at least have a more fulfilling experience. There's a reason folks leave knee jerk comments and don't elaborate further because the sentiment is popular too.
