This is so true! I almost stopped trying to have philosophical discussions on Facebook because it never ends well. People are so trigger crazy to be immediately offended over nothing rather than reflect and face difficult questions. I've never seen a heated discussion where it ended with one person saying, "That was really enlightening, thank you." Steemit is a completely different animal haha :) I've enjoyed many thoughtful discussions here.
I agree- I have almost completely stopped trying to engage on FB although sometimes I can't resist sharing articles with a few specific people in mind. Several months ago I tried to create a group on FB and just posted to all of my friends and family that for those interested in my POV or having productive conversation, I would divert it to a smaller group in an attempt to create a safe space. I had some positive feedback to the idea but no one except for my woke dad ever really engages back, with the exception of the occasional thank you for sharing my perspective. It is a big reason why I am in this community.
@sarahtops9000 just glanced at your blog - I have to get back to work but I cannot wait to check out your data science/ spirituality post!! :)
Oh thank you! :) I tend to frequent the philosophy and psychology threads. Lot of interesting reads! Following.
