"There's literally no reason to ever use it, except for the one time you literally have a reason to ever use it."
That's how exceptions work, yes. I'm glad you've confirmed that you understood correctly what I was communicating with language. What's the problem, you're offended by the word "literally" or...?
Your comment was a useless tautology. I'm surprised anyone upvoted it.
Your comment offended me. You could have phrased it so much nicer. I'll have a go at doing so:
That's saying the exact same thing without being so cynical about it. These Linux communities on Lemmy are just so damn cynical. I get tired of it, and I chose you as an outlet for my frustration.
Phrasing it the way you did is such a circle-jerky, virtue-signaling thing to do. Why even make that kind of comment?
If you think your comment was totally benign and no one should have thought it was a weird thing to say, then I don't know what to tell you, and I think you just need to accept my lighthearted mockery of your strangely worded, cynical comment.
