I’ve noticed that there seems to be an emphasis on being extremely serious at all times, as if every single comment is a PhD dissertation being evaluated or something. There’s like this weird, subtle one upmanship about every little thing and a lot of people are very nitpicky and judgmental. It kind of takes the fun out of being on here, TBH. Or am I the only one experiencing this?
No one yells at me to read the friendly manual like the arch forums. The only yelling I see is political stuff. I don’t see the console flame wars. Comments don’t look like youtube of the 2010s and before. Its not 4chan. It doesn’t have much of the smuggery of hacker news. I can block the chapo trap house people. Fediverse and activitypub actually works and we have some admins who seem to care about informing others of bad actors either as individuals to entire instances.
Lemmy seems good to me!
