And in criticalresist’s case he just said fuck off. That’s not even an insult.
Literally just because it’s a swear word.
If I got all British and said “jog on” instead of “fuck off” it would have exactly the same meaning in every context, but they probably wouldn’t act on that because it’s not a swearsie.
It is entirely about the tone. It is tone policing.
This is why I struggle so hard with tone policing. Like fuck off my tone is way worse down the pub that it is in anything I write online. They don’t have clue.
I’m fine with enforcing a “no insults” rule on lemmy.ml, but it needs to be consistent
