 GallantChef | Offense is qualia, not quanta. It's not truly actionable | 19:24:37 |
| GallantChef | Anyone who pushes for action based on "offense" is vying for power | 19:24:48 |
| GallantChef | I suppose this comes back to my desire to avoid polarization. If we define what is or isn't offensive, some people will like it, some people will dislike it. It'll cause enmity and division | 19:25:59 |
| GallantChef | If we say "if you're offended, feel free to ignore the offender and move on with your life" suddenly it's no longer a matter worth discussing | 19:26:28 |
| GallantChef | We've navigated around the issue | 19:26:35 |
 ryblade | like i said, we have block functions on every platform and protocol under the sun these days. perhaps a focus on teaching newcomers how to utilize these functions would be a better use of our time. | 19:27:24 |

If we say "if you're offended, feel free to ignore the offender and move on with your life" suddenly it's no longer a matter worth discussing I don't think this creates a welcoming community. Still I agree that defining "offend" is impossible especially in an international community | 19:27:24 |
| GallantChef | Frankly, just saying this stuff out loud has me fearful that I'll be doxxed by someone who disagrees | 19:27:32 |
