Raccoon at TechHub :mastodon: on Nostr: Let's say a person with post-COVID was complaining about people denying the existence ...

Let's say a person with post-COVID was complaining about people denying the existence of their disease, and just how absurd that can feel when your nervous system is full of tiny holes where the virus ate it.

A sealion comes into the thread like, "who is doing this? what evidence do you have? How do you know they're not mistaken? Are you sure you're not mistaken? What makes you think they're not also suffering from having to deal with so many people claiming to have post-COVID?"

Any response is met with more questions, with varying levels of absurdity.

The disabled person clearly wasn't looking for a discussion on that, nor is it their job to explain why things are harmful to them or prove the situation they're talking about, nor is it really this person's business: they're just talking about how annoying it is. When they try to walk away though, the sealion doesn't respect their right to, just as they didn't respect the person's thread.
