RE: The emotional circle-jerk
How small of a circle? 5, 10, 50 people? Isnt Steem a small circle in the social media space? Wouldnt you call, lets say "Gab" (the social media site) a big right wing, anti establishment emotional circle jerk?
People feed off emotional energies. Thats one of the things that makes us human.
The difference between "crypto is the future" is it crosses multiple communities and cryptos.
It doesnt cross outside of that though. Thats the point. Crypto community as a whole is still small.
The thing i dont agree with is that you took a derogatory term:
"Circle jerk." and expanded it to something that really isnt nearly on the same level of "bad" as the steem circle jerking, cant be quantified nor pinpointed since its just simply what makes us human.
Anyways.. lol.
In the USA this took some days ago a whole new meaning on when the Supreme Court of (I think) New Jersey ruled that the term "patent troll" is a matter of opinion and not derogatory. As in the derogatory aspect can not be factually proven.
As such I'm going to go on a tangent and logically deduct that when combined with a defining term, like emotional, it's a matter of opinion and when not defined no negative nor positive opinion about the actual joy experienced from said circle jerking is expressed and thus from now on that is not derogatory yet neutral.
Hey, don't look at me. I also always thought 1A only protected media but the SCotUS decided it also covers hate speech. Language is dynamic? 🤔
All the props to the supreme court but "circle jerking" is derogatory in any context.
What taraz described here is the original definition of circle jerking and added emotional at the end.....
Bla bla bla i really dont care. No idea why i commented in the first place. Boring conversation piece if im being honest. 😂😂😂
Now you are trying to push away a visual of a discord server with emo steemians circle jerking, right. Right?
And earth a small ball among billions of others. Steem has a great deal of diversity within it, which is quite unique for such a small group of people, wouldn't you say?
Yes it does cross outside of that and continues to do so:

Did the term hurt your feelings? Should we build a safe space? :D
You can feel how you choose about things and you can label things how you see fit, that is your prerogative. Your various forms of behavior will affect your outcomes and that experience you uniquely own, even if you would prefer different. If what you are doing isn't improving your experience or on the path to improving your experience, why are you doing it?
The "discussion" you reference is based on your framework, not mine and while you can think we are talking about the same thing, you will never actually be able to know precisely if what you understand is what I meant and vice versa. Again, your experience in this life is uniquely yours, as are your emotions.
"Whatever" about the other stuff, just want to say that "derogative" is a good thing. Its a good thing that its derogative which means that i can have use for it.
You just attached it to the basic human condition which took away from the meaning of "circle jerk"..
I mean im done... This is a dumb convo. Lol.
Ill see you around. 😂
