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.
It happens here too, because it’s not a Reddit problem. It’s a human problem. Any group of humans is bound to have the one that thinks they’re the smartest/prettiest/whatever-est. And small communities amplify those voices.
Came here to say this. I’m guilty sometimes too even without realizing it 🥲
Live and learn
What seems second nature to us may be so confusing to someone else
I consider my self a very nice and patient person but one time I was playing a game with a buddy (and kinda was having a bad day) and he asked me a basic question about the game that to me after hundreds of hours of playing is “so obvious” I kinda snapped at him for not knowing. I apologized once I realized what I said
Anyways pointless story aside is we all make mistakes we just gotta correct them and learn :)
