      You do know you’re responding to a lemmy post, right?

      On lemmy, things are threaded, there’s comments in response to posts, and those comments can layered underneath the parent comment.

      So, someone responding to your comment not only doesn’t need to make their own post, they shouldn’t, because the discussion is ongoing already. Starting a new post would just start another thread, which defeats the entire purpose of threaded forums

      Nobody posted any slogans until you did. It’s perfectly reasonable to reply with civilized discourse.

      Unilaterally proposing a single solution to a complex societal issue while insulting dog owners is problematic and does more harm than good. “Adopt and shop responsibly” doesn’t offend anyone who bought a dog and might make someone ask, “What does it mean to shop responsibly?” instead of buying a dog on Craigslist. Dogs deserve more respect from people, which requires treating all people with more respect.
