Can you have epistemology without meaning?

Find out what meaning is. I explained it in the above. Step 1 of epistemology is, I do not know what anything is.

So many it is heartbreaking.

People just don't know how to behave themselves online.

It hurts me every time I am forced to ban someone. I don't want to ban anyone. But they leave me no choice.

The anonymity of the internet shows people's true colors.

I had a flatmate for a few months and even though we had different values, he wasn't that bad.

But once we moved out and we just texted here and there he became extremely rude and obnoxious, and kept sending me racist memes the whole time and it went from antisimetic  jokes to full on nazi mode. He actually declared that he's a nazi. 

He blocked me on IG after not replying to two of his brainrot memes lol

A joke, insinuating that you were @mmKay's nazi friend and are now apologizing to him.

I was expecting that answer. In the Discord/ social media comment section format they behave even worse, liking each other's brainrot comments. Basically you cannot say anything unorthodox without being bullied by the orthodox status quo.

Yeah, but this is the thing which prevents this website from devolving into 4chan.

Or even Reddit to some extent, reddit is can be really vile at times.

What was 4chan actually like and how was it different from Reddit? I’ve only heard bad things about 4chan lol

Yes, that is why I am forced into it. Because I have a responsibility to keep this place high quality. So I have to ban unhinged people who can't help stir up drama and toxicity. Otherwise this place would turn into constant drama and toxicity and all the good people would quit. I have to make this place for good people.

Interesting to learn the behind-the-scenes mechanics of keeping a place like this clean. It’s easily taken for granted.

It is easy to not behave behind a screen, when you can not see peoples emotions or face. I bet they behave themselves in the real world.
