They frequently get a fuck ton of down votes for spewing batshit crazy rhetoric.

What aren't you getting?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I was just asking, fuck. No need to be condescending.

[–] jaykrown@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's the guy that wrote this a couple months ago when I hurt their feelings.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well that explains this:

I said I had them tagged as 'vegan' douche. Which is context.

They genuinely believe saying someone is a vegan was sufficient context to explain. They're just a bigot towards vegans.

[–] jaykrown@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The funniest thing is that I'm not vegan at all, which shows how fucking stupid they really are.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 18 hours ago

Lmao, "are the vegans in the room with us right now?"

[–] foggy@lemmy.world -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Your response/question wasn't exactly neutral in tone. Maybe don't take a (second) swing here.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Saying you have someone tagged as a douche with zero context "wasn't exactly neutral in tone" either. Which is why I asked.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I said I had them tagged as 'vegan' douche. Which is context.

Also I'm referring to OP in that post, so you know, the context is... The thread were both in.

It wasn't intended to be neutral in tone. I was clearly making a remark at what's behind OPs entire posting of this thread. Clearly others had no issue connecting these dots.

You're 0/3.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why are you so hostile? I asked a question. That's it. That's literally all I did. I'm not a mind reader. All you had to say was "this poster has a history of posting snarky things that get downvoted" when I asked and it would've made sense. Not everyone replying to you is attacking you. Not everyone is keeping score. Not everyone is tone policing you. Believe it or not, some people just wanna talk. Some people are just curious when they don't understand why something was said. Is that so hard to believe? Is that really so hard to believe foggy? That when I asked you how it was relevant I was just curious how it was relevant? That I didn't have an ulterior motive? That I wasn't mad? That I wasn't trying to get you?

[–] foggy@lemmy.world -4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm just blocking you at this point. You're ridiculous.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Bruh.

Sit back for a minute and take some deep breaths. Everything is going to be okay. You're getting all worked up over nothing.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's feels like so many people online just willfully interpret everything as rudely as possible. It's so exhausting sometimes.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah seriously, I saw nothing rude about the comment that started this whole mess.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

That you, that's validating.
