The real trick is to not take any online community top seriously, whether you like it or hate it.
Failing that, don't post.

Participation in an online community is fundamentally less serious than an actual community, for one the stakes, in terms of community membership and exclusion and identify are much weaker.
When this website started there were efforts to try to take it seriously in multiple ways. Things like admin accountability and due process for bans and all of that stuff were discussed to boredom (think user union). But all of that language and even that com have been discarded because none of that make sense to talk about for an online space that is at a fundamental level, privately owned by some person/people, and where the strongest sanction (banning) is so easily circumvented.

I'm not saying it should be serious, in fact I'm saying it should be treated with levity, because it can't be serious. The linked OP takes it too seriously, which is funny.

Oh you absolutely can, you just shouldn't.

That's fair.
