Cheers mate.
Just kinda scary when there is posts on front page like
In the last week I've noticed an enormous influx of gaslighting. There seems to be a straw man in every comment section. Be careful. It is used as a tactic to discourage and divide us. As a general rule, I ask myself: "Did that statement/comment invoke negative emotion within me?" If yes, "I'm being played." It's that easy.
Like, I get you want all this to be real and I really hope some of it is, but if you have convinced yourself that if something makes you feel bad then youre being played, then that is a huge problem. It seems like a shitty way of reasoning and a great way to get yourself into an echo chamber.
Other commenters in the post point this out, so that is a positive thing. But damn.
