there is a very precarious line between making innocent or harmless tongue-in-check comments versus ridiculing someone’s personality and energy for the sake of idle and distasteful jokester and malicious motives.
Can anyone share any hadith despising people who indulge in outright disrespect for fellow human beings, through trivial gossip, slander, and joking.
when must you absolutely stop such discourteous and ignorant behaviors?
Best.

49:11 O ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: It may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): Nor let some women laugh at others: It may be that the (latter are better than the (former): Nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness, (to be used of one) after he has believed: And those who do not desist are (indeed) doing wrong.
