Comment on How would you take 'stfu' from a stranger online, provided what you said wasn't meant to be funny?
Dicska@lemmy.world 2 days agoOh no (yes?), I totally get what you’re saying, and I’m able to process these situations (I think I’ve seen enough during that 15-20 years of playing with/against kids), that part doesn’t bother me; what I was really curious about is how you, personally, would interpret that brief response, without any prior context.

i am not native speaker as well, so it is sometimes hard to judge the nuances. in the old days of the internet there was a saying “be conservative in what you say and liberal in what you hear”. so maybe do that. or don’t care at all and just move on 🤷♂️ sorry i don’t have anything better.

While I never heard that saying before, I can totally get behind it. I truly appreciate it, thanks.
