Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I'm reasonably thick skinned, and often if I feel insulted I think about it awhile and decide I am wrongly interpreting whatever pissed me off. Only a couple of times I have kept getting madder and madder instead, so then I address the person who made the remark, and it's gone pretty well each time.
Once when a boss congratulated a new president of the "activities committee" by saying now we had a real president (after I had done it the year before, and gotten a lot done). This was years ago. Couple days later I confronted him and he said he'd been thinking about how rude that was, and was going to apologize.
I guess my point is - if you are easily insulted maybe it's you. If you are not easily insulted and get insulted you may have to communicate with the insulting party to be able to let it go.
