I'm sorry people are being so reactionary and taking your questions as being pro sniper or whatever way they're taking it. Rational discourse is generally better on Lemmy than other places but is still on the Internet, so people don't actually give anyone credit for trying to be calm and rational about events like these.

And like, to an extent, I understand the outrage. I do.

But if people can’t act like adults, know they need to simmer down a bit before having these conversations, lemmy is in no way better than Reddit. It’s just a Reddit that’s wider and under the control of more people.

This interaction (while in the original thread my words were flung without frontal lobe usage, and that’s entirely my fault) I had hoped to reset after I had apologized but I guess a lot of people were still upset.

Maybe it was my fault. Idk. All I can do is continue to move forward and do better. Simple as that. Thank you for the empathy, I appreciate it.
