have any niche lemmings taken off in the 6 months since the API scandal?

    While I absolutely abhor the use of ‘Lemmings’ in regards to anything related to Lemmy, I have only seen it used to describe the people that use it, and not the communities.

    You took a dumb thing and made it 1,000 times dumber.

      You took a good teaching opportunity and made yourself look 1,000 times dumber.

      How about getting off your high horse and try helping people learn instead of insulting people to sooth your superiority complex.

        I am helping people learn. Using the term Lemmings makes you look stupid. Using the term Lemming incorrectly makes you look REALLY fucking stupid.

          Then explain what OP did wrong, in a non-derogatory way, give them alternatives to what they could say instead of just demeaning them.

          Know what makes people look REALLY REALLY dumb? Talking down to people that don’t know better. Besides if you’re so smart, why don’t you educate the ignorant without insulting them?

            It’s more fun this way. Plus it looks like it pisses dweebs like you off, so win/win.

              Lol @ using that mental gymnastic to pretend you won an argument. People say don’t feed the trolls but if nobody gave the monkeys peanuts they wouldn’t dance like fools for our amusement.

              You’re welcome, monkey.

                Mental gymnastics? What are you even talking about? I got to call a stupid thing stupid and pissed an asshole idiot like you off which makes me happy. And now you’re pretending like there’s some sort of win on your end because you allowed me to rile you up? There’s definitely some sort of attempt at mental gymnastics going on here, but it’s from your end and it’s a massive failure.

                  I dunno, you seem petty riled up to me, plus you already showed your lack of understanding repeatedly, so yeah certainly a win for me.

                  Enjoy another round of peanuts on me, monkey.

                    Oh I’m definitely enjoying it. You’re even acknowledging that fact. You’re so close to figuring out what’s going on here, you just have all the roles switched up.

                    Also, for someone who was whining about me being mean, you sure are (trying to) come in hard with the personal attacks.

                    But I’m definitely the angry one here. ;)
