I’ll not mince words here, using the acronym like this is purposeful with the intent to undermine the entire point of diversity, equity,and inclusion initiatives.
If that is not your intent, Don Dickle, then consider rephrasing and never using such a phrasing again.
This isn’t a grammar issue. In fact, GP is mad that the OP used proper grammar, and is using the letter “A” as a mallet to claim that OP is using DEI as a derogatory term.
The people on Lemmy are programmed to seek victimhood however they can. They believe that being a victim makes them righteous in some way.
You are unhelpfully combative. DEI factually is a term that has been made a victim of twisting and manipulation. Flickerman was well within their rights to point out that this malformation of meaning has gone so far as to influence the basic grammatical use of the term.
You will notice that Flickerman even gives OP an out, admitting that their misusage of the term might be unintentional, likely skewed by years of propaganda. That is, OP could be entirely innocent and misled.
Therefore, ironically, the individual here who is truly reacting programmatically to seek victimhood, is you. :)
A diversity, equity and inclusion?

Imagine getting this upset over a single letter.
Imagine being a petty little turd over correct grammar.

Wow, there’s a lot to unpack there.
Hope you’ve got a therapist
