when used derogatorily, it is essentially the same as most other deragatory terms. for example, “you fucking <word>”, or “you’re a <word>”, or “I’m not gonna be told what to do by some <word>”.
when used non-derogatorily its the same as like dude or buddy.
I like kbin, think of it basically like if someone took lemmy and mastodon and made one platform that could use both. there is only one mobile app but it’s pretty good imo.
