            I think you’re response was just shitty, which is why you got the downvote from me.

            What I think is way shittier than that is to spend the time going through logs to find and specifically tag people that downvoted you to petulantly call them out in a separate post.

            This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone stoop to such juvenile levels here.

              My response asking for the rest of the point was shitty? Shittier than the original comment I was replying to? Okay bud.

              You mean pressing 3 buttons on a comment in my Lemmy app? Yeah, I’m exhausted.
