    I asked for data for this claim:

    the latter ones are usually eerily quite or will deflect when pressed about the first one.

    As for what I said being unsubstantiated, prefacing it with “I would say” should have been a clue that it was not a comment I could back up since that’s what prefacing a comment with those three words means.

    I notice you didn’t use those words.

    So, I say again, where is the data on this being a usual case?

      What data exactly are you looking for? You’re expecting someone to do data analysis on the lemmy api for you? You serious?

      What is and isn’t a common sentiment on lemmy is inherently a subjective question that depends on your instance, personal settings and browsing behavior (I even hinted at that with the blocklist question). You don’t need a “I would say” prefix to make that clear. It’s common sense. Trying to spin it so that my statement was somehow supposed to a factual truth while yours wasn’t is just petty.

      I usually like your comments, quite said to see you stoop to such bad faith conversation methods.

        I’m not the one who says it is ‘usually’ the case, that was you.

        And I find the claim that it’s ‘usually’ the case that people protesting Israeli genocide support Hamas to be both wrong and, frankly, offensive.
