Yesterday, I created my account on Lemmy.ml because I want to become mod on [email protected]. And I posted this comic on [email protected] It’s SDV game cutscene where Shane a NPC go watch Sports game with you kiss you accidentily but It was part of that event also player kiss Shane(NPC) back. Here’s video for more context. And someone claimed it have SA(Sexual Assualt) From Hexbear Ofcourse. So, I should delete it. I said it was a part of game cutscene. And If main player doesn’t love the Shane(NPC) then they don’t need to complete this event. And Just as a sarcasm I added Yeah we shoule delete this entire community because this game is Woke like Woke Detector Steam Group said. That user think I am some anti-woke dickhead something like that IDK. And tell me to Kill My Self. What I do now? I wanted on become mod on .ml because community was already well established. I message dessaline but I am sure he will not unbanned me. :(
Did I really did something wrong? I don’t know If I really did something wrong.

No, I’m not conflating both things.
Depending on the way that the insults are being used, they do count as argumentum ad hominem. Basically when you dress them as counter-argumentation, in order to defend a point - like that user is doing, there’s exactly fuck zero argumentation, the whole thing boils down to “u’re coment is wrong because ur a ass hat lol lmao”, to the point that my answer is… well, simply shitposting in return.
What doesn’t classify as ad hominem is shit, for example, like you’re doing now. You’re being like a 12yo who discovered their ability to call others “u poopy head lol lmao”, but not really using ad hominem since you aren’t trying to dress it as the argument.
In other words: contrariwise to your assumption, yes, I understand the difference. And it is still argumentum ad hominem.
