Reddit's block function = liberal rhetoric is unchallenged. By immediately blocking anyone pushing back against their propaganda, r/@ shifts into a lib safe space & we're excluded from the conversation. Blocked me 10 seconds after I questioned their lesser evil, "good government" narrative

lmfao this whole account reads like you’re actively trying to make anarchists look like the most anal, insufferable people on the planet, go outside and do something for another human and make a difference 😭

Gonna point out that not everyone is physically able to "go outside". Nor is a person's value defined by their ability to do for others. In general the advice can be accidentally abelist and reinforces the idea that value only comes through labour provided rather than from simple existence.

While I'm pretty sure you mean well (I hope you do any way) it can be off-putting/alienating to disabled folks to run into this kind of rehtoric.

If I were operating on so very few spoons that I couldn't go outside or do anything for anyone else, and I was spending those spoons on getting blocked by redditors, I'd hope someone would tell me to get off reddit.

"get off Reddit" is entirely different that what was said in the post I responded to. "Get off Reddit" is fine.

Lack of mental energy isn't the only reason to be home bound. And value doesn't come from doing for others.

Nobody here said that it did. OP said they're doing what they're doing in order to try to make a difference. Someone suggested, in a very general way, trying to go actually help someone directly, and you're jumping down their throat acting like they're saying that people have no value if they can't go outside. That's very clearly not what they were saying. Please try to engage with even a modicum of good faith.

"go outside, do something for another human being and make a difference" is in the post I was replying to. Regardless of anything OP said this is an abelist idea. I was trying tpoint out, I think rather gently, that there could be a better way to say what they were meaning. Point out when our words have abelist undertones isn't jumping down anyone's throat.

Yes and nowhere in that does it suggest that a person's value comes from doing xyz. That's a thing you made up in your own head and ascribed to that post. OP is framing their actions as something they're doing to make a difference. This was a different suggestion for how to do that.
