If I'm sealioning, you're walrusing. Which one of us is refusing to address the content of the discussion? It's now twice that you've done to me exactly what you claim that I'm doing to you. There was also a third time you didn't respond at all, which is actually preferable to your current walrusing. Btw walrusing is when you make an argument, and then claim that any response is in bad faith, thus bypassing your obligation to actually clarify or defend your position in any way.

You immediately claimed that I was sealioning after I made one single comment? That doesn't make any sense and you know it.

Respond to the person you are interacting with, not to your own personal insecurities. Read the words that I have written down, parse them, and compose a response.

Actually, it's fine, I'm not particularly curious about the content of your earlier comment anymore, because I no longer have any suspicion that it might have been anything of value. But you should still reflect on what I have told you because it's pretty silly to act like this, especially on Lemmy.
