See, Lemmy told me that every argument and post HAS to be made in “good faith.” So obviously your original comment was posted in good faith! Right?!
And speaking of people who don’t seem to know sarcasm when they see it…

Fair enough.
The real answer is they want to confuse people into engaging with them again after seeing for sure that they’re entirely full of shit
Lmao
