    Thanks for summing it up for me and no thanks for the hostility! Reminds me of Reddit, so I feel right at home.

    Yep, she should be in prison.

      I’m sick of people trying to pretend like the people trying to interfere with elections would have some kind of non-malicious intent.

      Also I was being snarky, not hostile. Words mean things.

        I’m sick of people jumping down each other’s throats when someone asks about something they don’t know about.

        So I guess we’re both sick of each other. 🖕

            Why are you still talking to me? Is it because you’re lying about being sick of people like me and it’s really that you enjoy being rude?

            Going to have to figure out how to block people on lemmy now. May as well learn how on day 2, but it’s a bit sooner than I expected.

              I’ve never spoken to you in my life

              I am now suspecting that you are a russian NPC or a clueless boomer, maybe both. Bless you either way

              I’m surprised you managed to figure out how to make a Lemmy account considering you can’t even tell when more than one person responds to you. And acting all wounded when you didn’t bother to RTFA and someone is kind enough to spoon feed you anyway is very reddit of you.
