You’d be surprised how much of certain parts of the internet are held together by a handful of people (Lemmy especially).
If something happened to Stamets, we’d all be goners. We already lost FlyingSquid (alive, just not active anymore) and I think The Picard Maneuver was away for a while
You didn’t bring any data to back up your assertions so I had a look. There’s three other Jonathan posts from this user between 7 and 14 days ago. They are all funny. There’s also a bunch of other posts from the same user. You are more focused on Jonathan than LadyButterfly.
Well Jonathan isn’t stupid, the posts I’ve seen of him have been decent enough to stand out and all I wanted to know was who he is and why should I pay attention…
The first question is legit - the second one is on you, either by subscribing to this community or by not filtering your feed and browsing /all.
I don’t know if you are aware, but your tone comes across as overtly hostile and dismissive; if it’s not intended i suggest trying to word your inquiries less harsh.
Its natural that we react with aggression (or flight or freeze) when under pressure. Our monkey brains translate modern life all too easily into a mortal threat. And to be honest, my own brain translates a medium filled train car into the equivalent of a stampede, so i’ve been there more often than i’m comfortable with. No harm done; in the end, it’s just a internet forum.
Hey, kudos on you for admitting it instead of continuing with the hostile tone. Self reflection like this should be more common, I think it would defuse a lot of tense situations.
If that was genuinely your intent, I think you could’ve phrased your question in a less condescending tone. Or y’know, just looked him up, like you did.
Nobody’s being defensive over their Jonathan, your tone/ attitude just sucked and people didn’t like it.
Who is Jonathan and why should I care about his text posts?
EDIT: Wow, you lot are very defensive of your beloved Jonathan.
Since no one could inform me who he is i went and looked him up.

This is a community for somewhat humorous text posts from various sources.
The author of the post isn’t the focus, but some people are very very frequent content uploaders, so their stuff gets shared more.

Who are you and why should I care about your comment?
You shouldn’t, that’s the thing about opinions, they are worthless.
But that’s what makes them fun!!
LadyButterfly likes to post his stuff. You’re welcome to post the people that you like instead.
The only type of content I consume of this genre is from lemmy.
I’ll do you a deal, you post some witty twitter type posts on lemmy and I’ll screen shot it and repost it here.
Why me when there are plenty of people posting on Mastodon? I’ve reposted from FessHole, for example.
The community is Microblog Memes. It’s all text posts. If it’s too much reading for you just block and move on.
Yes, too much reading that’s it…
Or perhaps it’s because someone is strangely fixated on Jonathan…

I think you’re correct, I’ve been overly cynical the past week due to stresses and I’m not good with stress.

Take care of yourself, ok?
