I didn't say words. I said names. This person was called gay... as an insult. For whatever reason by some people. He shouldn't let it bother him because those people aren't worth the time of day to have such a narrow point of view that identifies a person as who they are by a single aspect of who they are rather than seeing the entirety of who they are.
This. Exactly what I am getting at. It's not worth your energy to get upset over people who trying to bring YOU as an individual down by simply calling you names.
That's where I believe you are wrong. Sure, things hurt my feelings. I grew up being picked on. But eventually, you realize it's the other people's problem and not yours. They think X... so what? That's what they believe. Unless they intentionally damage your life by influencing coworkers, friends, and family, simple "name calling" is useless words that only hurt your feelings because you care what that person thinks. And if that person is putting you down to try and make you feel bad, their words should not matter to you at all..
My trick is I don't let what people call me bother me. I was raised with the old saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me".
I suspect it's more users migrating over to here. I am coming here more than on Reddit now because of Reddits actions. Just trying to get used to Lemmy. The vibes are friendlier here, that's for sure. I imagine that won't last once even more Redditors come this way.

Our jokes are hanging by a thread now.
Nice reference drop there.
Satin, you say?

Wholesome af.
I’ll be waiting for the news of when it gets destroyed by someone.
Interested in the argument they would have if we swapped the kids on the bottom with the kids who are made to hold Trump and MAGA flags.
I stopped when Apollo ended. Lemmy has been satisfying my scrolling needs since.
What a gaggle of morons.
The plot thickens lol
Just how VHS beat Betamax.
Well he doesn’t want NATO right up on him. Doesn’t excuse the atrocities and only supports why NATO should be right up there on his wall.
This is great!

I may be lucky. I am an expat, and I bought mine in China. Now I am in Malaysia. So I may not have this issue. But your points are likely true.
