The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Thank you - I've got a busy day on and I don't think I'd have had time to break it down like this.
Yeah, I can't tell if that person was intentionally trying to muddy the waters, or if they were really that ignorant. Lemmy seems to be full of oddly specific radicals.
I think, since they deleted their comments instead of arguing, they were just ignorant of the nuances. It's getting real hard to give the benefit of the doubt nowadays but I think they deserve it here. At least, I'm not going to block them.
