This view that you can't just do an activity for your own joy, you have to do it for the approval of other, is the actual dystopia. I wonder how old you are because this seems very much like the attitude of someone who was born in the age of social media.

That would be sad. Did you mean to respond to some post that was about that?

Weird, since that notion appears nowhere in my post.

Given that I'm not the only reply you received reading it that way, perhaps you should consider that you did not communicate what you think you did.

Please point to any part of my post that reads best as "you can't just do an activity for your own joy".

You can just admit you made a mistake. It's fine.

> a dystopia

i think this part gave people the impression that you meant that doing something "for nobody" (eg. for your own joy) was somehow bad/malevolent

See the comment below.

You can just admit you communicated poorly. It's fine.
