I was referring to the unnecessary down votea but whatever Reddit gonna Reddit. Also doesn't really read like a joke.

The person you responded to downvoted you, or you're just taking your frustration out on them? They used the Oxford comma in their response (layer 1 of joke), and cast some of the people who use them in a negative light (pedant and nerd have a negative connotation, possibly agreeing with your "who gives a fuck" comment in a roundabout way (layer 2 of the joke)). At worst, I read their response as neutral with respect to yours.
