No, it’s about them wanting other people to do good things, and trying to encourage that by example. And I think they have a point - it’s hard to model a behavior when nobody is aware of it, and it’s hard to normalize a behavior nobody talks about
these behaviors are already normal and normalized the fact you think they aren’t is so bizarre. people are nice to each other all the time, except on lemmy.
just because you don’t see shit doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. but true that internet weirdos seem to think the only thing that does exist is the doomerism oppression of the world they constantly upvote and cultivate.
Internet weirdos… god the extreme eye roll the other guy probably had readding your reply is most definitely why they just didnt bother with you. I get you’re just a shitty troll, but god could you just go back to reddit and have a troll fest with an ai and leave others alone.
There is no such thing as a selfless good deed. We’re social animals. We feel GOOD when people around us feel GOOD. We’re intelligent animals. We notice this pattern and conclude that if we make another person feel good, WE’LL feel good too. This is virtuous.
Sharing good deeds make them feel NORMAL and people like to follow the standards for normal behaviour to fit in. This creates a virtuous circle.
Sure some people only do a good deed to advertise it because they’ll get more capital out of it than the cost of the deed. But that’s not what’s happening here. I don’t know the store or the owner, they get nothing from me.
Every sentence there is about you making yourself feel good.
None if it, is about how the other people feel.

‘be like me so i feel good about myself’
that’s egotism.

Based. Honestly after seeing no genuine faithful reply calling this “egoism”. I’m also feeling like we shouldn’t feed this troll.
right, anyone who disputes or disagrees with you and defends their position is a troll.
as if that’s such a upstanding position to take…
