Randomly made a little post on Reddit that cloned one I made on lemmy, and it really showed the difference in user. I brought a screen protector and mentioned it didn’t have glue and got a comment from each platform regarding the same issue that really made me realise the difference in communities and how tired I’ve become of the whole “well ackually” mentality of Reddit.
Lemmy comment, just asking a question and provides a solution trying to help: “Is it perhaps static cling, or do you have to apply with a water/soap solution?”
Reddit comment just randomly guessing and making out I’m a moron who doesn’t know how screen protectors work despite me saying in the description I’d done so, got 14 upvotes on a 20 upvoted post, so this is basically the vibe of that sub I guess.
"I’m inclined to believe that you didn’t peel the right side. "
This is my rant for the evening, think I’ll go back to not bothering with Reddit any more, maybe I am stupid :D.
One wonders how you’d prefer the sentence start where you’re offered a correction by someone thinking of your success.
I suspect you’ve heard it a bunch, and if that trend continues then you’ll want to advertise a better way for people to help you so they don’t inadvertently offend you … while they help you.
And it’s cool; I get you. I too hate it when people volunteer their finite time in a sisyphean effort to fix one error at a time. I realize it’s ultimately selfish, in that they’re just trying to make the world better for themselves, but it’s the blow to my ego that really gets me. How dare they offer some different viewpoint and bring the receipts to attack my world-view?
