Memes are not evidence. You need to be more specific and substantive.

There is still quite a lot of good in the world. You should make just as much effort to identify the good as the bad.

Also, what's up with your response format? Why end this way every time?:

Don't be retarded.

I've only been making memes for the last few weeks. Look back over the last couple years.

The majority of people are well meaning. It's the kakistocracy ruling class that is the problem. I have made efforts to address alternatives and solutions, much more than just making this list. Doesn't mean I'm going to ignore the problems. As soon as I finish a couple CSS themes for SaidIt, I'm going to step back from SaidIt until September to finish my first draft to share - of the most important think I can possibly think of to help bring awareness not only to the problems but to the solutions too. When I come back in September I will not only share that and develop that project further, but I also intend to focus more on alternatives and solutions - rather than just sharing the bad news, as important as awareness is. This crisis is going to get worse and we'll all need more alternatives and solutions.

I don't see any thing like that. But I can make one.

You must be a bot.

How so?

I cannot tell you how good it feels to see a reply without

That's very peculiar. I don't see them at all. You are the first person to ever mention it. I see a blank line there. Are you on your phone? This might be something that /u/magnora7 and /u/d3rr might like to know about. I'd also like to know if that's what other people see. I certainly didn't mean to be leave dots around. I find it much easier to read.

Do you compose your comments in something like StackEdit? In an environment like that, I notice if I am using the "-" character as a bullet in a list and press enter, it automatically adds another "-" for me on the next line.

I see the extra "-" both on DDG (android mobile) and Pale Moon (unix desktop machine). It's possible that both of these have different markdown parsing than some of the more popular browsers out there (e.g. Chrome). Just a guess but it might explain why I see it and you don't.

I compose on SaidIt.

I recently revised the Markdown commenting guide according to what is visible in my Brave Browser.

You'll see that a dash is one of the ways to make either a bullet point, if a space or text follows it - or it can be a blank line. I've never had a bullet displayed at me where I intended a blank line. I'm very curious why you see different results.

I'm guessing that after this paragraph, instead of a blank line you'll see a bullet on your DDG (android mobile) and Pale Moon (unix) and that /u/magnora7 and /u/d3rr would be interested in this. In Markdown I follow with an empty line (otherwise the following dash would "underline" this paragraph into a ##H2), then a dash with nothing following it (like a space that would make it a bullet), then another blank line (for no reason other than my habit). I'm guessing my habit empty-footer-line gets converted into a blank space somehow. (Experiment in another comment makes this theory false.)

Just to be clear, I see it on this one too.

1) Dash above, 2) then this line, 3) then a blank line, 4) then a  . Good?

There is a dash above this paragraph, a blank line following it, then a dash - and I do not add my habitual blank-footer-line. So do you see a dash-generated bullet?

[–]whereswhat 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

Yep, I still see it.

[–]JasonCarswell[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

Curious. Thanks for the info. At least we ruled that out.
