Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt, and tried alerting you in good faith that your "joke" didn't come off the way (I assume) you intended.
I didn't accuse you of being biphobic.
I didn't even accuse you of thinking bisexualality isn't real, despite the fact you wrote that in your comment.
I said nothing about you personally.
The correct response would have been along the lines of "sorry, I didn't mean for my comment to come across as hostile, I was just trying to make a silly joke, my bad"
Instead, you've just been a dick
What does that accomplish exactly?
you being offended and feeling self-righteous about it and no doubt patting yourself on the back about the whole exchange here.
you're welcome.
Ooh look I can do that too!
I bet you're sitting there with a huge smug grin on your face after totally owning me in this debate we were having, and you'll tell all your friends and colleagues about how great you are for winning this internet argument
See how I made up an imaginary caricature of you and insulted that? See how fucking dumb and childish that sounded?
Maybe next time don't take constructive criticism so personally
An ally would listen to feedback from the minority they claim to support... just sayin'
