What are they trying to achieve correcting someone like that? IME they always do it publicly (so not through friendly DM), and often say it with ridicule.

I would imagine they’re trying to help you learn the correct way to spell? That’s not a bad thing. Especially if it helps others understand the meaning of what you’re trying to convey.
Ive never seen someone with a comment history pattern of doing that, only people choosing to do it the once. And if they’re trying to help, why say it publicly and with ridicule?
Fair enough. I don’t know your personal circumstances so can’t comment. But if someone did that to me I wouldn’t assume malicious intent. I just assume they’re trying to engage and be friendly.
Until it is mentioned (often afterwards), how would one know the person is neurodivergent? Is it fine to correct someone making those mistakes who are neurotypical?
I think how the correction is made is the differing factor, because you can never have complete information about the people you reply to on a platform like this.
On the other side, there is definitely a time and place to correct people for simple mistakes, especially if you still understand what they mean. Replying to someone asking for help in a matter is probably not one of those times. Replying to someone pointing out other mistakes or lack of knowledge, I think, is a fine place to make corrections (respectfully).
Especially if no one is called out by name and insults aren’t being used.

Yep sadly that’s often the case
