why would you follow someone you agree with?

if you want to learn, you search discord.

Searching Discord is precisely the opposite of learning. You lose knowledge every second spent on Discord.

They meant

dis·​cord: lack of agreement or harmony (as between persons, things, or ideas)

Here, I was keeping it in a drawer because I thought I wouldn't need it, but obviously I did.

I couldn't take the statement itself as sarcasm because you're not wrong lol. It would have been more obvious if you glazed Discord instead I guess.

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I thought my use of capitalized Discord would be subtle but noticeable that it was a joke. I guess I was too subtle.

:) i can't know, i'm not a discord user. Apparently i prefer "losing knowledge" on lemmy

This is why when learning guitar I looked up guitar lessons and then looked for people who didn't believe learning to play guitar was possible at all and the abilities instead were based upon innate talent and genetics! /s

Seriously, if learning was done by discord, then US politics (and cable news viewers) would be full of absolute scholars, instead of, you know, the exact fucking opposite of that.

guitar example does not work :/

politicians are not genuine in their discourses. Most are there for profit and they say things that even they don't believe in 🤷

Why would listening to two sides of this help you learn anything? Hearing double the lies will teach you nothing.

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

after your comment, i went back to the top of this post and started reading all the comnents. It's very interesting to read the arguments from many sides and see the nuances some people bring to the conversation.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That isn't all discord.

Relatedly, if you think social media threads are a great way to learn stuff I don't know what to tell you other than maybe try picking up a book and see if there's a difference there.

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

too many assumptions, but thank you anyway

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This was pretty discordant, you learn anything from this exchange? 😆

late reply to your question is, no. OP who is also a mod on this community started arbitrarily deleting my replies, which shows that the discussion here is not genuine and it's altered to serve mod's beliefs.

i was listening to this, which made me think of this thread: The Gray Area with Sean Illing: Stop comparing yourself to AI
