Please never talk to me that way, to be clear.

To be clear, they quite literally weren't lol. Why are you tone policing a reply to someone else's comment on another person's post? How incredibly weird and self righteous...

Its not weird at all. The tone of that comment is shit and uncalled for, this sort of hostility has decayed the community [possibly] past the point of no return.

This isn't some sort of unchecked fascism, we are talking about AI features in Firefox. I think it is poor behavior to lead in to that conversation with an insult and I'm going to call it out.

I have been a part of this community for almost a decade, and I'm invested in its conduct. i want to be a part of a community that is above le Reddit and X the everything app^TM; if you aren't interested in elevating the level of discussion I guess I wonder why you wouldnt just be over there anyway.

I disagree that scolding and calling each other assholes over two words in a comment is any more called for, and I certainly don't agree that whatever superiority complex you're trying to invoke right now is doing anything to "elevate the level of discussion".

I'm here to be in a space with other Marxists, consume anti-capitalist media that doesn't sympathize with liberalism, and have conversations that aren't in danger of being deplatformed for those stances being expressed. I am not here to feel like im better than or "above" any other community simply for language used rather than views expressed.
