[THREAD] Hey bit of a less fun tweet thread than usual, but here it is.

I don& #39;t think people need to agree on all points in order to get along. However if you do decide to wade in on a topic, please first of all consider:

- If what you are adding is valuable to the conversation
- If it is coming from a place of knowledge
- Your motivation and your privilege

Being a devil& #39;s advocate for your own amusement? Boring and unnecessary.

Offering an opinion without full knowledge and context? A waste of everyone& #39;s time.

Littering your comment with buzzwords and being unnecessarily verbose in order to sound more convincing? It isn& #39;t working. Everyone can see through what you& #39;re trying to do.

Trying to make something about you when it isn& #39;t? Tedious and sad.

I think it is important to be open minded, and I& #39;m always willing to be convinced by rational argument and facts. But when someone throws their two cents in without checking if a) it& #39;s actually money or b) knowing what they& #39;re talking about, that just sucks for everyone. Stop.
