Ask Lemmy

A disorder is a function that causes disruptive distress or deviation from nominal behavior.

In abstract, I have posited a claim, and then shown how that claim is backed by associative social norms. I am attacking the normalization of anonymous negative behavior at a foundational level. I'm attacking the ethics of the developers that created this system in the first place. I have exemplified how this same behavior is in opposition to human social norms. I have shown its weaknesses in terms of political impact. I have posited a deeply unethical use case of why such a system would be implemented in the first place despite the malevolence. Finally, I have shown how it is destructive and harmful to everyone through statistical analysis using game theory.

The abstraction is not targeted in any way at people with mental health disorders. I am showing how the feature itself is a disorder or catalyst for disorderly behaviors.

I have actually tried really hard to remove any forms of bias or personal attacks from my dialog over the last decade or so. Like in this case, I'm actually arguing for positive constructive interactions in a more socially aware architecture. I want to remove the nominalized negativity. It was a mistake to make a space where people are able to abuse others, to manipulate, and to cause harm without social consequences as a feedback mechanism. It is a particularly sharp prejudice to experience when one is in near total social isolation from stuff like physical disability. Allowing people with no independent ethics to treat a space like this as a sadistic release valve for turgid eristics is simply wrong.
