    Hey there I didn’t complain or downvote but also declined to upvote cuz of the two little tiny words of ad hom……

    … (idea!) …

    DINGUS! Dingus would’ve saved it!

    ya dingus

    Perfect, feels very Lemmy-appropriate—gets the insult with a perfect lulz factor so even the parent commenter could’ve kinda laughed (I hope ppl can take jokes!)

    …sorry I know I’m not your mom, hope this doesn’t come across maximally prescriptive (just my 2c!)

      I ain’t using dingus firstly cause I’m pretty sure dankpods has a copyright on it and secondarily it has none of the gutteral bite that damned near every other insult in my dialect has. Also I go out of my way to commit some level of ad hom since I find that it’s a fine way to figure out if folks have thick enough skin to take seriously, worst case scenario they throw a punch and that’s just a good time for me.
