Should the audio q&a thread return?

[Misanthrope4Life]

I'd like to give a shout out to the other 8, who answered NO


I thought about making 20 new emails, to make 20 Alt accounts, to vote NO lmao. Unfortunately I don't have the time and energy for it

Long live NO

In this case NO MEANS NO and YES MEANS NO


Lmao

Out of interest, why did the old thread cease?

I had to focus on somehow working full time, home school full time, take care of my older parents so they wouldn’t go out and risk their own health, clean my house every day because everyone was home and normally I outsource it because it’s just a better use of of time, but I couldn’t have my housekeeper come because of shared space. So I was busy. My mental capacity is a bit spent but I could handle the thread now

I for one would like to see it return. I'm rather quiet here and keep to myself a lot, but this may be my attempt to join in.

 

[AveryElle]

I do think it was best when a mixed group of folks asked questions and there was some loose categories. Every other day, so people had time to answer and listen and with varying degrees of depth. Not everyone wants to talk about everything, which is fair.

I also think trying to stay within a time frame was a great idea.

Id like to set up an anonymous question submission box but I’ll never remember to check it!

Can we have a maths-themed week where questions are twice on day 1, then once on days 2, 3, and 5?

There are 10 types of people here. Those who will get that, and those who don't understand binary either.

Sadly, politics impacts people’s lives all and you can’t ask people to be honest about their lives and tell them to avoid things that may be political. Everyone would be welcome, including people with differing political views. Some of us don’t have the luxury of ignoring politics but I wouldn’t ask someone’s views on 45 or anything like that.

Thank you for taking the time to record this. The audio thread, as far as I know, isn’t about sex and fun. That’s part of it, but people have been very vulnerable and open on them, as long as I’ve been part of them. If you’re here just for sex and fun, I don’t know why you’d seek out an audio thread when ‘foods A-Z’ and ‘show me your panties’ are more along those lines.

No one can make you feel alienated without you letting them. Additionally, no one is required to listen to anyone else. On each version of the thread, there were people I didn’t take time to listen to. I can’t make you feel welcome or unwelcome, and if you feel like you want to participate, you’re free to. Safe spaces aren’t my job to create for one entry on the political spectrum.

Sigh....
You completely ignored my actual point which doesn’t surprise me. Carry on...

 

[Lord Pmann]

Damn. For someone who hates Trump so much, you sure share his level of self-awareness.

I used to quite enjoy the audio thread. I listened more than participated. Sometimes it was good. Sometimes not. But that's with any thread. However, to think your thread died due to you not maintaining it is the equivalent of "FAKE NEWS".

 

[AveryElle]

I’m not really sure what you want me to say. You clearly need a safe space with trigger warnings, and Im not sure a thread where people answer about eating disorders or sexual assaults is really the place. You want people to realize their words have consequences, which is really ironic.

I didn’t want you to say anything. I wanted you to realize that your divisive and polarizing words were a big factor in your thread tanking, but you will never admit it. You are being condescending to me in an effort to divert attention from the real issue I was trying to politely bring up. Good luck with your new thread.

 

[AveryElle]

For the record, if you scroll back to the reboot thread....I didn’t even answer them once you joined. And nothing political came up in that thread. I didn’t even know that you participated until I went back just now. Everything is stil there, be saying it needs someone else to take over - you nominated PMan, the last question I asked was about Covid and your sex life and You responded how you have one because you have no privacy.

Just needed to refresh my memory of the thread before I move on.

I was specifically referring to a post you made wishing the president to choke on a dick. When i get some free time, maybe I’ll go back and find it to help you further refresh your memory. You absolutely lost contributors after that, but you will keep on believing it was for other reasons. *

 

[AveryElle]

I have no doubt I said it. Next time, I’ll be sure to post a trigger warning for the snowflakes.

Yet you were on the last thread, so I’m just trying to figure out what you’d like from me. If you were turned off, you had a funny way of showing it, since you participated in the last one more than I even did.

But I really am finished engaging now.

I was just trying to give you some perspective. Too bad you couldn’t receive my feedback in the spirit it was intended. I hope you feel good about yourself and your attempts to put me down.

You're just being nice and trying to go about things respectfully. Usually when someone goes off point and gets insulting, it's because they can't refute your argument. I think your point is obviously visible now, if it wasn't before.

Stay classy, my friend

I’m not sure why you care NOW and not enough months back when you were very active in the thread. But far be it from me to know anyone’s motivations.

 

[AveryElle]

Well, I, too, would like 45 to choke on a dick.

That being said, can’t there be set topics and everyone truly tries to stay on topic? That way, if there is a specific political topic or issue you don’t want to get into, you can sit that one out. I wouldn’t listen to a podcast about our current President, but that doesn’t mean you all shouldn’t talk about him.
Also, it is clear who is speaking. If you don’t like that person, don’t click their name. I would rather that than censorship of what Avery, LW, you, or anyone else might say.
It’s a unique thread. I like listening to you all. I vote resoundingly YES.

It’s funny cuz I can’t read what blocked people write

 

[AveryElle]

I like the thread. I listened all the time, although I don’t feel comfortable participating.
I’ll save my voicing for off Lit.

Do you ever!!

 

[SassySheDevil]

There have been many audio threads over the years on lit. Personally. I don't often leave audio, because I don't like my voice. But I do love to listen to others. So I'm more of a lurker.
But I think the ones that have done the best, are the ones that offer fun, engaging topics. Ones that welcome everyone to get involved. Ones that help the outsiders to come in and get involved.
That means the person asking the questions/deciding what to talk about, has to be friendly/engaging.


This is the downfall to asking a question that you don't always want the answers to. Someone is always going to give you the truth. . But sometimes those are the answers we need.

If you want to restart the thread, restart the thread, but maybe realize that it died for more reasons besides life getting in the way.

 

[AveryElle]

I’m fine with the answers - just not someone saying they didn’t like it or me yet also participated. I don’t want anyone on there to feel like they have to edit. So many parts of lit are fake or fantasy, and getting to know the core of people is a rare gem. I’m glad I got to learn so much about friends and my partner through the various iterations.

Someone is going to make the thread, they don't care how many people say NO. This thread was made to bring attention to the Question Voice Thread and kick it in with momentum.

I actually never liked the thread, ever since Azul changed the format, into question form. I was only being silly in this thread, I haven't seriously stated my reasons for not liking the thread, because it'll get people upset and cause an argument.

It's really not that serious, someone is going to make the thread and I'll either ignore it or torture myself lol.

It's cool if you like it


By the way, the answer is NO!!!!
LMAO

If you are referring to me here, I never said I didn’t like the thread or you. I said the opposite. I said I loved the thread and that it was my favorite because i enjoyed getting to know people through their audio responses. I said the polarizing and divisive things you said contributed to it’s demise, but I never said i didn’t like you. I obviously enjoyed the thread because i did participate.
