Cool actually getting positive support and attention. When I first got to Lemmy I basically shared my story about how called out a developer to gauge their response to see if I should move onto another project. Short story is I basically formed an angry mob against me that persisted for like 2 days because they didn’t like my methods and that I’m confrontational to them as well.
But if say what makes me think I’m a psychopath is that I regularly go online and figure out how to trigger and put ideas into people’s heads and put down people. Like it’s a hobby. I start with politics and people make it personal and it’s like I’m anonymous person on the Internet, your politics suck and you did these horrible things(racism, classism) and displayed mental illness(like staying angry and obsessed)
I like the Shame route but it’s more of a curiosity thing. Like you want to know how an electric motor works so you hook it up to a 12v source before hooking it up to a 1000v source. In this case, the 1000v source is watching their beliefs get destroyed.
I definitely said toxic things to the people on lemmy. It was toxic environment, mutually toxic.
Effective is relative. Like if I wanted the angry mob to form well I succeeded, but I was trying to get them to explain how I was wrong, like actually putting it into words and then confront them on their logic. But I can say my methods are ineffective in the sense that people wouldn’t explain how I’m wrong (I mean they wouldn’t say how my methods are wrong)
Re:zero anime has told me that I can’t and shouldn’t try to break people because they’ll make their way through suffering.
Now I undermine people in power by basically helping the fediverse , but I should stop undermine people even if I think they’re displaying toxic traits
