I agree with you, in the long run will I utilize niche subreddits to read product reviews, recommendations or troubleshoot issues? sure. Will I use it for advice when working on my cars? you betcha…
But will I maintain an account, post, and doom scroll /popular or /all? Never again
I understand exactly the type of user you are describing but you have to acknowledge the irony in how you feel about preserving the culture of Lemmy and calling these specific redditors elitist
I mean come on dude.
Threaded comment trees make such a huge difference. I’m always reminded of how much I like them when I am scouring auto forums looking for answers to issues on my jeep lol
regurgitating talking points from a third party and the inability to distinguish between divisive issues and issues of difference. I
am a college professor and pastor and when I teach theology there is a crazy high instance of people who just spit out exactly what their favorite celebrity pastor says and immediate decide that it trumps whatever you are saying. Then they are unwilling to yield any bit of their position and get offended that you disagree.
disagreements do not need to be so divisive. The constant need for affirmation shows that you actually have no idea what you are talking about
