I have only run across “sealioning” on Lemmy, and in my experience it is usually a way of accusing people of (a) being polite in a disagreement which is obviously a bad thing (b) asking for evidence of what someone’s saying, which is obviously a bad thing.
I have literally never seen it applied in the form where someone is actually being obnoxious, chasing a person into other threads, asking for evidence that has already been provided, etc.
I'd argue it's highly present in irl "debates:" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfAEDLjwO7I
Could I have more pixels?
If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pixels. How can you have any pixels if you don't eat yer meat?"
