I just saw someone unironically say "We don't know each other dude, why are you replying?"

The reply they were referring to was not debating, antagonistic, or hostile in any way.
We are on the internet, people. There's literally billions of people you don't know.
Some of them use words. Get over it.

@BeAware there's been recent mastodon threads from people complaining about getting responses. I didn't respond but made a mental note wondering why or how people can so fundamentally misunderstand the open web discussion formats. I think some people are looking for blogging tools with members only comments. Or something. Hint: when you post on public resource that is designed to drive engagement and you get engagement that's the point.

@smxi facts and I'm dreading the unavoidable eventual "turn off replies" for fear of misinformation during an election year....

@BeAware I hope mastodon devs resist this small confused minority that is using the wrong tool for what they want. Interaction is the point. I suspect they want a blog but don't know they want a blog. Wordpress has all those controls and filters built in. I will probably stop following people who keep complaining about the tool doing what its supposed to.

@BeAware Ummmm then they fundamentally don't understand ActivityPub, the FediVerse, or at the least the privacy settings…
This isn't a blog or similar type platform.

@smxi @ppb1701 here's the exact links to what I was referring to, y'all can decide for yourselves what your opinion on the situation is. It's a few links, but read them in the order posted.
This OP and replies from this thread:

It continues further but for some reason it's not showed there.
https://mastodon.social/@blatinodragon/112992855506814298 and the replies to this.
Then he goes on an unhinged rant.
