Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

To point out (what I thought was) a needlessly condescending response.
It did not. I think it was quite clear how I interpreted the comment I replied to. I mean, you got it. Even if you disagreed.
Again, I was not lacking context. Having "context" doesn't mean that a sentence does not negate the fact that a sentence can still be ambiguous. I think this is perfectly exemplified in this thread.
My point stands. People are way too eager to be aggressive/mock other people when they get the chance instead of considering that the other person might A) just have a different opinion or B) they misunderstood something. When I first started using Lemmy this did not happen so it's a shame that it seems to be attracting the same crowd that made virtual interaction so unappealing in Reddit.
That's interesting that you're accusing everyone of acting that way because I thought that's how you were acting. Maybe you should take a step back and see that you're calling the kettle black.
Almost verbatim what I was planning on saying. Just 0 awareness apparently. This one may be a lost cause, though.
That may be true from your perspective but it was not my intention. If you make a small effort, you might see that you too can misunderstand someone else's words.
So let me get this straight:
It's perfectly acceptable for you to make an assessment of a word and it's meaning from a post not your own - but utterly incomprehensible that we might make a similar assessment of literally the same word from your post... in exactly the same way.
In what way are people misinterpreting you and being mean while, somehow, your actions which effectively are identical (inference not withstanding) - are justified and erm... kind?
It's rare I will bust out a "my dude" this frequently... but: my dude do you own a mirror?
Let's just nip the speculation in the bud here first: in a shock to maybe one person - he was not being "douchey."
I won't rehash what has already been said by others, nor what I have already responded to but I'd like to respond directly to this:
It's you. You're that crowd. You came into a thread with a non-constructive, do nothing, pedantic, petty, low effort, call-it-what-you-will shit comment... got called out on it: and are trying to blame literally everyone but yourself for your poor choice rather than gracefully taking your lumps and moving on. Ironically, OP made the far more high minded choice and did something that improved the post in general. Without complaint.
This isn't reddit. You are correct. You are getting down voted because we don't want reddit here either. Be the improvement you want to see or don't let the door hit you on your way out.
