The source or their intention doesn't matter. Take their statements at face value, as they stand on their own without your fantasizing about who they are or why they said that.

It doesn't matter, because you can't know. You can only fantasize that you know. Your comment is in fact a false statement on its own merit, since you don't know what you see or not in the comments, you only feel that you see this, so your deductions based on those feelings are a falsity and worthless.

People on Lemmy call me different things every day, and a good 90% of them are totally batshit wrong. For example, I say something pro-2nd amendment, and they claim that I am a Trumper. I say the Bible says something; they insist that I am a Christian. I'm a bot, a spy, a liar, all "judgments" based on fantasy and without value.

All of them believe that they are right and feel it, and they are all wrong.

It's important to practice this until it becomes second nature. Just practice remembering it not as fact, but as something you feel but can't prove.
