Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

It’s nice to hear some witty and lighthearted ones because we do have a problem with that kind of thing straying into the territory of abuse and bullying.
The line between banter and bullying can be pretty simple: does the target find it funny, and can you take back what you dish out?
Yeah, but you never know how the targez takes it, so there is a risk. Personal I think a bit of banter is good for the mood, but you have to make it 1000% clear that you are making light hearted fun. Which isn't always easy.
True, especially if it's with a total stranger!
It's humor, and yes it's mocking humor but not mean spirited IMO.
I would be laughing if I were the subject of any of these jokes.
People wo can't take this are insecure, it's their problem.
