 No it doesn't. I made an exception for people who don't use zaps and don't go around exclaiming how revolutionary they are.

 How do you know they don’t zap?

 The people you are referring to

 I'm starting to wonder how much of the note you even read. It was a general post to anyone who meets the criteria I laid out. I added an exclusion for literally everyone else.

 Wonder all you want I just replied to your other note explaining what you don’t seem to be understanding

 You keep misrepresenting me in every reply I've seen. I'm not talking to any of the people you keep bringing up. I'm saying that people are larpers IF they use zap hype for engagement yet don't actually zap. That's literally the definition of larping.

I'm not shaming anyone other than people who meet THAT description. You are projecting your own meaning onto my post.

Yes, I think the like button is garbage. No, I don't think everyone else has to agree or be shamed UNLESS they are larping for engagement.

 I've more than cleared up my meaning at this point in other replies but:

Yes, I could probably have been more clear, but I thought I was at the time. It's hard to know until you get feedback.

Yes, I agree that not everyone fits the bill that I tried to make clear in this post, but may have failed at.

No, this post is not for a specific person. It's a general post.

Yes, I think the like button is useless. No, not everyone must agree.

Yes, people can use both, but they also wouldn't fit my intended audience.

No, not EVERYTHING I find useless is fiat. That's an over the top meme that should go away. I'll grant that (someone else mentioned it). Totally own that one.

No, my intention was not to shame people who aren't essentially engagement farming. I could have made that a lot more clear probably, but I thought I did.

I'm going to take some time away from this topic since I'm frustrated by the miscommunication (which could be my own fault, admittedly.)

Thanks, Karnage. Take care.

 Alright. Not a bid deal anyway.

 Maybe not, but my way of communicating often misses because I'm too quick on the draw. It's a problem I'm acutely aware of and need to work harder on.

 Dude, you threw your opinion out there to sniff. We all have something to say and now you are stepping back, saying, "No no I don't communicate well!"

You need to take accountability for what you say and do.

In life and online.
