This is the difference between Reddit and Lemmy: any comment thread on Reddit ultimately has to end with 10 layers of argument but Lemmy comments are 2-3 moderately terse statements before polite agreement.
I’m saying this in complete seriousness. I disagree so hard. This is the first interaction where I’ve questioned someone or agreed and they didn’t come back with insults or more arguments. Reddit is just as bad now but Lemmy is definitely no better.
Huh, I guess it just shows how different experiences can really shape perspective

I’m not even sure how to respond to this. Is this an insult?
It was intended as a joke insult, to confirm the point you were making - that nothing you say in disagreement would be dropped, but everything would be continued with arguments and insults.
I guess I should have used a /s
I figured that was the case but was legitimately unsure if someone would sue the word “nincompoop” seriously. lol
