Nothing But a Bunch of Reactionaries Here!

[woodsroad]

It is always nice to see responses to posts. There is no doubt that social media is a bit narcissistic and masturbatory, but getting responses lets you know that your missives are resonating, and that folks are either enjoying them or pissed off at you. So although it's reassuring to log in and see "12" or "32" on the notifications, it's even nicer to see when those responses are quotes/replies. Then you know that you are promoting real conversation, not just screaming into the void of space,

When it's all just "reacted". and no "quoted" I find myself complaining to myself "Just a bunch of reactionaries here!"

This is a post I can get behind (and hide??)

Kidding aside, responses are always nice, especially when it continues the conversation.

Don’t worry, you’ve made it perfectly clear that your a narcissist.

When technology catches up @woodsroad, you will have notifications pinging directly into your inner ear to let you know when someone, somewhere, has quoted you in a real life conversation. This device will be known as a 'Reaction-ear-y'.

It's always great to be a part of a conversation about something you enjoy and it's even better to be able to converse with people and explore ideas as well as differences in opinion. The notification I wish I could turn off but has not been invented yet is the one that would make a post invisible to certain individuals who either think they are Carly Simon - "I bet you think this post is about you" or can't stand living without dogging someone who disagrees with them and who literally doesn't give a shit about them or think about them ever but just like gravity, seems to attract them no matter what. If. you disagree with someone, ignore them. The function is clearly a part of this forum.

I'm to scared to click the like button now!

@telescopes I agree. The worst threads are the ones with endless to and fro without the protagonists just noting the others difference of opinion and moving on.
