    From being misquoted and taken out of context. I have several times asked that question. I worked on night shift for years with Mexicans and Brazilians. Hell I use to ask that question in Spanish and was part of my job to help translate when the supervisor was out. All I am getting from this is people don’t want to understand each other and just want yes men. What is the point of coming to a social website if people are not social?

      Yea, everyone down voting you is wrong, you’re the only person who is right. Do you not see the irony?

      As for your question, what is the point of coming to a social website if people are not being social? In my opinion (and I’d assume a fair chunk of the people down voting you) everyone else is being social, you’re coming across as being anti social.

        I do not change the way I talk. My comments on other sections of Lemmy are doing fine. Only this one post and section of Lemmy appears to have issues. To say the least next time I post anything hear I will have to change my grammar and syntax to reflect more positive emotions. I am asking questions and edited my old replies to get feedback. Maybe it’s a generational thing or cultural difference. Hence why I ask questions. I am from the North East, US and in my late thirties. I am just trying to get to the root of the issue. Where is the context. Who made the statement negative now? Why can I ask the same thing some where else and not have a issue?

          You got a negative response from me because you asked me a question, I gave a fair response and you got shitty. It’s not that hard to understand, if you’re rude to people then eventually they’ll be rude back.

          Re cultural or generational issue, oh come off it mate, if you ask for feedback and then attack people who give it to you, then what do you expect? For reference I’m also 30’s, UK. Nope it’s not that, you’re just needlessly rude.

            Define shitty? Please explain. I honestly don’t understand. UK is it true those who insult each other are more friendly? If true that is a cultural difference right there.

              No. Feel free to read my previous comments back, there isn’t anything else to add at this point.

              Re the cultural differences, I’m not sure why you think that’s relevant, but no. Stop being insulting (and slightly Xenophobic)
