   I grow increasingly convinced that reply guy is used in the same way that woke is by the right. A sort of "I don't like it" catch-all term on the euphemism treadmill.

     @PatrickoftheG except it makes no sense.

     Reply guy is used as an insult, yet the words used imply that we should all just shut the fuck up and read posts and not interact with each other...🤦♂️

     @BeAware I don't understand that one either, mostly because if you don't want people to engage there are platforms that let you do that.

     Not the end of the world at all.

     But just stretched in weird directions.

     @PatrickoftheG there are some good use cases.

     Especially for folks that get actually harassed.

     Though, I feel a lot would use reply limiting to stop anyone that replies to fact check their misinformation.
