    This was the intended joke. But when was the last time you called a person invasive? Maybe it’s a dialect thing, but I’ve never heard that used about a person. Nosy, nagging, annoying, that’s what I use.

      I’ve definitely heard “invasive” used to describe people quite often. It’s not usually the first word people will pick, but it’s not uncommon.
      But on a related note, what’s up with Lemmy (and previously Reddit) insisting that just because they didn’t get a joke means it’s not funny/poorly written? You’re allowed to just not understand jokes sometimes. You can’t explain away why something is objectively not funny any more than you can objectively explain why a joke is funny.

        Yeah, that’s a thing. I’ve noticed people here tend to have a “I didn’t like it so it’s wrong” attitude, instead of a “I didn’t like it so maybe it’s not for me” attitude.
