Please reconsider what you think is respectful, because that was just straight up multiple personal insults.

Uh. What? Multiple?

I mean I can see the "I think your judgement is bad" could be seen as a personal insult (even though it is genuinely meant as an assessment of reality), but "multiple"?

Do you honestly expect anyone to believe that you didn't intend "memeOS" to be an insult?

No, why?

The sentence structure implied that I would have personally insulted this HN user and did so multiple times.

That is not true though.

What you did probably sense instead is more of a general abrasiveness-field. That was intentional (and obvious, for that matter).

So do you believe that it's acceptable for your comments here to be laced with insults throughout, as long as they aren't intentionally and specifically targeted at the author of the comment you're replying to? Because I definitely don't think it's appropriate behavior to be denigrating an entire Linux distro and anyone whose values align with the purpose of that distro as merely participating in a meme.

Yes, I do believe that nixOS (especially nixOS 5 years ago) was not to be taken seriously.

It was (and is) a never-ending drama faucet, because most people are in it for the identity and not for the utility. Or rather the utility primarily is the identity granted by using it.
