    I swear if all the snide little pricks come over from reddit too I am going to have to abandon Lemmy also.

      You could have communicated much more clearly. It was not at all clear that you understood the post and wanted to have a specific side discussion. It read like you were taking the post at face value to discuss the failure of IQ testing. It especially even more like a misunderstanding because the post wasn’t even about IQ tests, but standardized tests. In fact, your top level post and this one I’m responding to both felt snide to me. First snide about the graph and IQ tests, then snide about the fact that people didn’t understand your unclear communication. You came off as one of those snide reddit users zooming past the post to make a point, especially with your aggressive defenses. Slow down. Consider your messaging more carefully. We are here to have conversation. Make sure you are too.

        I was definitely critical of the graph and of IQ. It’s a flawed concept created by people who were at best blind to cultural differences and at worst outright racist. [I’m sorry if you found my messaging unclear]<— I’m being absolutely genuine here, I was trying to make a serious point and if you misunderstood it then perhaps I could have been clearer. In future with these kinds of posts I’ll label it as off topic at the beginning.

      Lol. People read your comment and think you didn’t understand the original post. When in reality they are the ones who didn’t understand your comment.

        I’m sure Lemmy wasn’t like this a month ago. What I was enjoying is that someone would make a post and then you could start a conversation that wasn’t strictly on topic just have an interesting talk about the general subject.

          The worst thing about social networks is the people. Maybe we could just use ai to generate every response, fine tuned to the kind of conversation you specifically want. Yeah that’ll fix it.

            The worst thing about social networks is some of the people. Generally, they’re fine. Same in real life.
