  1. How Pastors Can Discuss Controversial Issues Online

    Talking about controversial subjects is tricky, and it’s important that you do it well. Yes, Jesus said people would hate us for following him, but he didn’t mean people would hate us because we’re a bunch of jerks.

    If you cannot see the humanity in your opponent, then you cannot love them. If you cannot love them, then you can prophesy all you want, but you are nothing more than a clanging gong and have gained nothing. You need to be able to speak the message God has put in your heart with love so that it might possibly be received. That will not happen if you put more stock in being right than in loving the friend, acquaintance, frenemy, or enemy in front of you.

    The prophetic often works differently corporately than it does personally. You can speak to a generic crowd a bit more intensely than you can speak to an individual. I learned this from my mentor in college—a fiery professor who was willing to passionately talk about anything from the front of the classroom but was kind and gentle when you met him in a personal setting.

    If your argument is online, don’t be sarcastic. Don’t let other online commenters make fun of your opponents. Defend the honor of your enemies. They, too, are made in the Image of God. Pay attention to how the social dynamic is changing if you garner more likes on your comments than they do, as that will make them feel more insecure.

    If the conversation isn’t going anywhere, tell them you’ll make one more reply, and then be done. Don’t let people bait you into additional unhealthy conversations through mockery. Don’t stir the pot just to stir the pot. Don’t get high off of fighting people—that’s called bullying. Stay away from rage bait.

    If the person you’re trying to dialogue with is getting amped up and angry, maintain a good attitude. When people spiral out of control, they make your point for you. As others read your conversation, they’ll recognize your levelheadedness. Online battles are not always about the person you’re talking with—they’re often more about the people who are silently reading your conversation.

    Whatever they say, keep cool and love on. Your interaction as a pastor can be healing and evangelistic, but you don’t always recognize it. When I run into people I rarely see in real life, they sometimes thank me for my posts. I’ve also received messages and comments from deconstructing Christians who have found my online interactions to be healing and one of the reasons they haven’t given up on Jesus. These are reasons worth speaking up about the kinds of issues that pastors often stay silent about.

    Hab ich noch was vergessen?

    Mein Dank geht an alle, welche Natur, Tiere und Pflanzen, Technik, Kunst und Kultur posten. Ohne euch wäre das Fediverse kaum besser als die großen Asozialen Netze.

    Hier ist ein Stockentenpärchen.

  7. @JDGooiker

    Mooi verhaal over ragebait door Bas Heijne in de NRC.

    Men meent het niet maar het levert reacties op en dus inkomsten.

    'Ontmasker het' klinkt vanzelfsprekend, maar voor velen van ons geldt: Maar Hoe?

  9. Threads is the evil child of clickbait and recipe blogs… Notice how everyone HAS to give this little background story or preface, or best yet "disclaimer" before they get to the actual rage-bait or broadcasting their ignorance…

    And that's EXACTLY where Instagram cuts off the preview of every Threads post.

    And it is never ever ever good for your blood pressure or faith in humanity to click through.

  11. @mina Du hast vermutlich recht. Gleichwohl prädestinieren sich diese Kasper definitiv als qualifizierte Scheißvereinler. #Ragebait als politisches Stilmittel… ffs

  17. #Ragebait von #SPON mal wieder.
    Und widerlich, ausgerechnet #Merz verteidigen zu müssen, der sich in dieser Angelegenheit nun wirklich entlarvt hat. Aber dabei sollte man bei der Wahrheit bleiben. Technisch ist die Schlagzeile zwar nicht unwahr, aber halt nur ein unbedeutender Aspekt, also Ragebait.

    Bäh.
    Als Nächstes dann wieder über die Stimmung im Land beschweren…

  19. It’s come to this: Dopamine fracking. Part of the #enshittification of everything. So what is Dopamine fracking? “The act of pumping immense, disproportionate resources — money, crowdsourced math, analytics, optimization, min-maxing, popular opinion aggregation, etc. — into a previously casual or complex, layered activity to forcefully extract and squeeze out the purest, most concentrated dopamine hit, with no regard for anything except dopamine.” #Blog post takes a look at how online dopamine hits now dominate the #internet and our online digital experiences - making us worse for wear. #SocialMedia #clickbait #RageBait

  21. Kann es sein, dass der #Ragebait bei #Linkedin mittlerweile komplett außer Kontrolle ist?

  22. Boomerframing,
    die Frankfurter Rundschau bringt die Überschrift:
    "Boomer-Großeltern klinken sich aus: „Nur für schöne Dinge da“"

    ganz am Ende des Artikels schreiben sie dann, dass das alles nicht so ist, sondern eher im Gegenteil sehr viel an innerfamiliären Hilfsarbeiten geleistet wird.

    ich will den Artikel hier nicht verlinken, das ist einfach tendenziöser Vollschrott. und ragebaiting. Journalismus sollte anders aussehen.

  23. Obvious point, but one reason newspapers keep publishing cynical ragebait is because it works. Publishers generally don't care how stupid or reactionary their articles are if people keep clicking and sharing; it only encourages them

  25. #Mixtape < a giant abyss < #Dispatch

    IGN scores are just a joke. They gave 9 to Dispatch, and 6 to #CrimsonDesert.

    Sorry but their scores mean nothing, and are meant to create rage content around.
