I hadn’t no. To be honest, I just assume it was just another Lemmy instance but will check it out. Thanks for the suggestion

You’re going to likely interpret the following as snark or more anger, but I promise you it’s not. I ask the following in good faith: if you encounter folks who believe that large corporations, generally, and the use of proprietary software/hardware by those corporations, specifically, are having harmful effects on humanity, do you expect those folks to respond without emotion when those subjects are broached? If so, why?

I do believe that large corporation should be held accountable for whenever they done anything shady and suggest alternatives as well as state the pros and cons of it.

My issue is them replying angrily at the people that happens to use it, not even knowing why they use it instead of the alternative, if the alternative can delivers what they can already do. Not all alternative are “one size, fit all” and sadly, some are more a compromise rather than they would get any benefit from using it.

You seem to be coming from a good place and your desire to get away from reddit probably reflects a belief that there’s something wrong there. But maybe take a step back and ask yourself if there’s a good reason that people seem angry?

I saw it the whole thing more as them assuming I want an community to mainly talk crap about older generation which isn’t the case. To me, I vision the Gen-Z community I was wondering exist in Lemmy being like sort of like “90s kids” Facebook group which post meme related their childhood and stuff they grew up with. Again, not trying to do some generation war and talk crap at them.

If some have read my reply to others, they would realized that. But instead, they jump into conclusion so I felt like I was being yelled at for being a idiot for even asking and get accused for something I wasn’t even thinking about.

If the tone is something like:

“I’m not too sure how good idea is having separate community for generation is as we’re aleardy divided personally. But you find it better joining any community you find interesting”

I wouldn’t be too upset and won’t feel attacked and I can reply saying “It isn’t meant to be a divide, rather…”. But instead, they begin with “Fuck Gen-whatever” and be passive aggressive to me. That what annoyed me the most.

Yeah, I do think it comes down on whatever communities you’re in which varies what the experience be like. Lemmy is very open-source focus which great asking for support and even finding interesting FOSS project but terrible how angry they get anything corporate or proprietary related and even they expectation for newbies to do.

Thanks, it generally means a lot! I just thought Lemmy is more welcoming instead of whatever is not in majority of the users’ interests is bad and malicious.
