Then why was I casted 5 downvotes?
You'd have to ask the people that downvoted you.
Maybe they just don't like you, or think you pander too much. It's really hard to say when someone just pushes the disagree button instead of expressing their feelings.
That's fine.
I'll still refuse to insult people, and use language that can hurt.
You can can ask others how they feel about “lame.” I rather use substitutes.
If you don't want to use language that can hurt, then you shouldn't use any language at all. Anyone can take umbrage to anything for any reason, that's the beauty of free will. The problem is that far too many people find power in being offended and hurt, even there was nothing hurtful intended. If you refuse to say anything that could offend, you will never say anything meaningful at all.
Because you used a meme that had "retard" in it, not "dumb". Correct?
I'm not colin in the other thread. Click on «Comment Moderation History» to see my prior attachment on the downvoted post.
I don't see anything when going to the comment moderation history on lemmy.world, nor do I see that option at all when going to the comment on ani.social.
Are you telling me you had a comment removed for using the word "dumb"?
I removed my downvoted comment for having the word «dumb». Ask @[email protected] how my response felt in my immediate act of solidarity.
That's fine, you do you. I don't want anyone to feel marginalized either. I'm just genuinely surprised anyone had issue with "dumb". That's a first for me. I assumed that battle was long lost.
