That's false. Most people have stopped engaging with you and a few others because they feel it's pointless.
If you're an obnoxious repetitive troll, you will likely get muted and then your comments won't be seen.
What is false?
That most here do engage with respondents?
Some may fail to respond to my posts and comments because I raise issues most Libertarian virtue signalling hypocrites struggle to credibly refute.
Go ahead an call me an obnoxious troll, but is it just that you choose to attack the messenger rather than refute any of my actual posts or comments?
For example-
- You claim something undefined in my comment above is false- but cannot show how why it is false- because it is not. Classic example right here of shooting the messenger because you cannot refute the message.
That most here do engage with respondents?
Yes, that's the part that's false. You're confusing people being sick of interacting with you specifically with them not engaging with people in general.
You are also confusing not wanting to interact with you specifically with not being willing to engage with your view point. Most of us gave you the benefit of the doubt and attempted to engage in good faith, until the repetitive responses exhausted our patience.
I am not referring to me when I say 'most here engage'- I am referring to the behavior of most people here as that I what I observe.
I was in no way referencing how people here respond to me personally.
I am not so self important as to assume that I am most people here!
You have made a blatantly false assertion against me- what you do in acknowledgement is your call.
Here's the list of who generates the most content here: https://stacker.news/top/stackers/forever?by=items
People can judge for themselves whether engagement is the norm or not.
If the quantity of sats/cc and replies someone generates is a true measure of engagement...
I consider for myself making people think, or even people blocking me out of fear and inability to engage in a reasoned thoughtful dialogue is better than arsemilking echo chamber virtue signalling 'engagement'. But that is just my own preference- not obviously the more common approach you find here on Stacker news. I am by my own acknowledgement somewhat an outlier.
So on the whole I still think most people here do engage to the extent they are capable with posts and comments- probably more than on other social media sites.
And so you were wrong to assert my initial statement as false because it is not false.
If anything imo, people here are too smarmy and polite and too often avoid a robust contest of ideas, by blocking or troll others calling them name and making false accusations against them.

Do they have mirrors where you're from?
Please point to a single false accusation I have made in this dialogue.
Or any dialogue if you must search that widely.
Silence.
I have pointed to one specific false assertion you made against me- you have not convincingly responded to or refuted that.
What is the point of freedom of speech?
If you don't get it already there seems little point in trying to explain it to you.
BTW most people here do engage with respondents- even @coffeebadger
