    Everything is “cringe” nowadays. Calling things cringe is cringe. nobody gives a shit.

        Neither did they?

        I mean… I agree with you. That shit is cringe… but saying “Didn’t ask” to someone who didn’t ask either is pretty cringe too.

            Yes, I understand how publicly accessible social media works.

            Saying “No one asked” in a public forum is the dumbest comeback someone can come up with. Do you not understand what Lemmy is? No one is asking anyone for opinions, but adding yours to a conversation is inviting others to add theirs…

            You can always find a private instance and only interact with opinions you like.
