“derailing” as a concept really only makes sense when applied to IRL discussions, where if one person is talking, other people can’t be heard over them, and where if people are talking about one thing, it becomes impossible to talk about a different thing

applying it to online is like applying the concept of theft to online, “you wouldn’t download a car” style

there’s no scarcity here, so trying to apply the concept of ownership to posts doesn’t make sense

\n

It’s literally the charge that someone is trying to “railroad” a conversation turned on its head
