There’s another type I see often here with these kinds of assholes. It’s intentionally misconstruing or reaching the wrong conclusions about what the other person is saying. It’s a form of strawmanning. They’ll move the argument just a bit to the side, drop a false zinger that could fit the original narrative if you squint hard enough, and accuse you of saying or doing horrible shit when in reality you’re saying something else.

And guess what, the people reading do not give a shit. They’ll just dogpile if you try to fight it because Lemmy is wonderful like that and people here are so nice and critical.
