You know the phrase I’ve heard more in the #Fediverse than ANYWHERE else?
“just my 2 cents”
I think this sums up the culture here pretty well. People just LOVE to tell you how you’ve got it wrong. This ESPECIALLY applies to posts that aren’t even TRYING to be opinionated. There is just this vocal contingent (sometimes german? always male) that is hell bent on making sure there isn’t “Someone wrong on the internet”
See if you can help yourself and not critique ;-) I certainly don’t want it
@scottjenson@social.coop I tried Threads recently. Maybe my experience there was similar to your (big instance?) experience here.
I used a tag, and boy everybody piled in to tell me what they thought about it. Obviously without reading the thread for context.
And so I’m thinking these are really social media problems. Or big media problems.
The only way to avoid them is to go small within the large.
Find a few friends, chat about things.
