And that's how Reddit lost even more users.
It's another sequel that nobody wants and shouldn't be made.
You see when any kind of asshole wants to be an asshole, they'll say some things. If you like and/or agree, it's all good with them. If you get offended then they get to be a different kind of asshole because you don't like them being an asshole. They are banking on most people's unwillingness to be confrontational and call them on their bullshit, especially women, minorities, or members of any other vulnerable group.
There's only two functional counters to their assholery; either be confrontational and be a bigger but contextually justified asshole to them until they fuck off, or retreat. While counterattacking is more likely to get them to back down or realize they can't always be an asshole, it comes with inherent risks that make most people avoid it. This is understandable, as you never know what kind of maniac the asshole might be, and local or immediate circumstances might not favor you. However if you're in a position to put them in your place and willing to accept the any possible harm, it's morally and ethically justifiable to stand up to them.
Pizza is highly recommended.
Just remember, when the barrier to entry is low then the quality of participants declines.
Edit: I just realized that I should have specified an intellectual barrier. In the case of Lemmy that's the minuscule technical understanding or research ability needed to sign up and get on an instance. It's amazing how just that tiny obstructions helps keep out the dumbest of Reddit users.

Wow. His head looks like a literal egg.
Ten times faster to rust out on ya too lol
Death spirals go out now. Neat. At least we'll go extinct with some cool graphics.
You can tell it's not Welsh because the names are way too short and pronounceable.
Dude Lemmy is no place for the 1% to show off their wealth.
