UniversalMonk, is that you?
I tend to prefer monk class for DND and other TTRPGs, but no, I've never gone by that user name.
Lol, is joke. An account named UniversalMonk used to be notorious for pretending not to understand subtlety to get people to state rule breaking things explicitly, after which that person could be reported/banned.
I thought it was funny for a while, but ended up blocking the account, so I'm not sure if it's still active
Interesting.
I do find myself missing the subtle points of comments, esp in the more lefty areas of the fediverse. I hope I'm not breaking any rules when I ask. I am genuinely interested.
No, you're not! It's just that the comment you replied to may have been alluding to violence, so if they clarified that explicitly in response to your question, they could be reported

This shit has been going on for ages. Biden should absolutely go fucking nuts.
Yeah, I get that much, but I'm not sure what the implication of the original comment is.
Like, are they implying Biden should call a hit on Trump? Should he just not cede the presidency? These are things the typical Lemmy user (as I've seen at least) would RAGE against under any other circumstances, so I'm inclined to assume thats not the case. But if not that, then what?
