    And yet they knew what I was linking to because they, like me, know how Lemmy works. And you know they knew because they were talking about that post.

      Oof. Nevermind, then. Tried to show you why being an asshole about it might have backfired, but keep being jaded!

        Just FYI, I was responding to a libertarian regular who thinks there should essentially be no gun regulations.

        Also, they’re a bigot.

        They won’t say it out loud…even though it’s a massive part of it. The youth are staring at a shit load of immigrants from hard right religious countries yelling at how they want to turn their country into a Shira law shit hole…but no it’s the social media…

        You might possibly be backing the wrong horse.

          He can go kick rocks. I’m trying to help you.

          From an outsider perspective, it looks like you told him to “go respond to this guy instead”, but linked the same comment that it was already responding to. It was confusing and made you look like the asshole in the situation, which I’m trying to help prevent in the future.

            I’m not sure how else to link to someone’s post than to do it the only way Lemmy allows you to do it.
