I won't lie, I've been harassed so much (sincerely, check out my posting history, its a trip) that at this point its hard to distinguish people who are just curious, and people who are truly rude/trolling/intellectually dishonest. If you're one of the former, my apologies.
I do stand by what I said about derailing a conversation though, I would say that to anyone, under the same circumstances.
Have a nice day.

All good, I did read the links you sent so I could see some of the "feedback" you received. It seems we both want Lemmy to be a nice place with constructive conversation so we're very much on the same page there.
That said, I don't think gatekeeping others with "you can only talk about the thread topic" is a healthy way to do that, so we diverge there.
I'm not going to stop doing it and, if you look around, you'll see plenty of others doing it too, so I'm in good company there.
It's nicer if we let conversation flow naturally and don't set arbitrary constraints - the mods can do that via the community rules if they want to but, again, you won't find many examples of that either.
