no meta may challenge (wip?) (media.piefed.social)
submitted 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) by pieland@piefed.social to c/fediverse@lemmy.world
 

i came up with the idea of a no meta may challenge super last minute and i’ve been enjoying a migraine all day, so i’m taking a break. not a great time for a break when the first day of the challenge ends today but it’s probably fine

i know it’s not great and not everyone will agree with my choices; at the end of the day i think we can all at least agree that the alternatives are still an improvement over staying with meta

thinking i might want to increase the font size on the challenges

if you think it’s a good idea, feel free to edit, share, make your own, idc, fucc the zucc

why, can’t we spread the word to our friends?

Because it's not to "friends" it's to people who already agree...

You're not changing anyone minds.

It's like deciding to protest with a "meat is murder" sign, but you do it by holding up a sign inside of a convention center for vegans who think meat should be outlawed.

If your goal is to get people to agree with you're in the exact right spot, be ause no one who disagreed would be there to see your sign.

Does that make sense?

The only way that "protest" logically makes sense is it's purely performative and only done so that people who agree with you, acknowledge that they agree with you.

It accomplished absolutely nothing, and if you want to waste your own time go for it.

But if you can't handle that critique on how to accomplish a goal with someone who agrees with you, how the fuck are you going to get someone to agree with you?

It's more likely every time you try to convert someone, you just drive them further away

You don't understand any of that?

Take a second to reflect on how many people you've ever convinced that didn't already agree with you.
