On a similar note, by mobile lemmy client won't let me copy test. Can't even select it.

Do you often dumb-down what you say on social media? in c/[email protected]

I relate. I edit, then edit again. How anybody can come up with the right words the first time is beyond me. And ya, brevity is power.

Do you prefer a polite request with an implicit punishment-threat or an outright demand with an explicit punishment-threat? Also, why? in c/[email protected]

Like you're in a slasher but pretend you're in a hallmark.

That is an opinion that I used to share. No more.

I have offered a dozen strange ideas here. Not difficult or complex, just strange. They are not received well.

Constraining your topic

A kind of politics-flavored smalltalk. Yes, that is the local dialect.

Believe it or not, I have discussed subjects that matter deeply to me in online forums. But lately it's just fruitless fishing.

I think we have a thousand mob-squawks posing as niche communities. Different flavors, same conversations.

Completely open and popular forums are not entirely a good thing.

"Should" is arguable. (For example you might be fishing for the few in the crowd) .

But yes, your choice of topic. That's what I'm talking about. Sometimes it looks pretty narrow.

And if you do. Well, that carries with it it's own bucket of implications.

Not talking about simplified writing.

I am not talking about better communication. If I was then I would have said "use a clearer style of speaking" or something like that.

I am talking about limiting what you discuss to the popular and easily-digested.
