This is the weirdest complaint. The post showed up in your popular/active feed because it got popular/active. It wasn't targeted to you, and the poster was not addressing you. The post was clearly addressed to users who post on /c/196.
Being annoyed at how the service works is not a good reason to be combative with the poster, and it certainly isn't a good reason to share your opinions about trans folk being a problem when they get aggressive. Not adding up.
If it helps at all, AC capacitors are extremely easy to replace, so if you had an extra or two on hand, that might save you some headache and money later. Tell you friends. I hope you can stay cool!
