If you resort to name-calling back, you’re just as low as the person insulting you, and neither of you belong on Lemmy.

That is incorrect. Maybe I'm too good for Lemmy and they're too shitty for Lemmy, but that doesn't make us the same. You are a bad person for pretending there is no appropriate use of insults, and judging others over it - especially since you're apparently into insulting people yourself.

But what sucks is that I might get banned for how "insulting" this is to say, while your much more insulting reply to prompt my insult stays unchallenged.

Sorry, so you’re too lazy to click a link. You need an image every time?

I'd also be fine with you not replying.

This shows up as an imgur link for me, not the actual image.

Here is where you denied that instances can have their own themes.

I doubt it. Maybe you're misreading. Can you get an image to show up as an embed on the instance I'm using now?

It’s in the link.

But why post links when I'm not clicking them?

I actually provide the evidence for things you claim you didn’t say.

Not possible since I don't really claim I didn't say things I said.

If you refuse to back your claims up, why would you expect to agree with them?

Because people don't typically disagree with themselves too much.

So how are you “targeted” in this thread, and how are you “targeted” in such a way that it makes it so you can’t safely have a home server instance?

I'm targeted in this thread with gaslighting, people acting like they need me to repeat stuff, etc.

And the type of targeting that makes it so I can't safely have a home server is more like how I keep facing serious accusations of crimes I haven't committed, false arrests, accusations of pedophilia, etc.

So what? Is the link a lie? The link is to your post. https://i.imgur.com/USWVK8b.png

I'm not clicking links. The Lemmy instance I was using allowed images to be embedded. Find an instance like that if you want to show me something. (If you formatted this as an embed and it's just showing up as a link, let me know what I can do other than click your links)

It’s the relevant component where you larped as a martyr.

Being relevant in your imagination doesn't really justify wasting time with it here.

How would I do that?

I don't know or very much care.

Why would you assume I would do that?

Not the first time I've dealt with someone like you, obviously.

All I’ve done is reply to you in a thread.

Sure.

It wouldn’t be enough to hide them because instance admins can see deleted posts.

That's good.

But in any case, I haven’t insulted you.

Incorrect. You have insulted me repeatedly.

You have insulted me repeatedly.

Correct. I have also insulted you repeatedly.

They have zero involvement in the Fediverse.

Incorrect.

Imagine having no self-control that I’m to blame for your inability to stop replying.

Why would I imagine that?

Congrats on having a place corrupt enough to ban me btw.
