Comment on Lemmy wouldn't really takeoff to replace Reddit until it's content is search indexable

  I’ve seen your post. Ouch - you stumbled upon some nasty circlejerking there. On multiple levels.

  Plenty people here expect you to treat their “vision” as above everything else. Including your agency (“free will”), issues that you might want to solve, etc. That makes them unable to tell the difference between “criticising Apple” (a fair thing to do) versus “treating someone who bought an iPhone as an emissary of Satan” (what they’re doing against you).

  To make things worse plenty muppets there are putting words in your mouth, regarding Samsung vs. Apple.

  If it’s any consolation, it isn’t just Lemmy. The whole internet of the 20s feels like this nowadays.

  TL;DR: I know that feel, bro.

  That needs to stop. Did the moderators jump in?

    No. My post got 40% down votes. One particular user insisted that I was using Samsung flaws as an excuse to like the iPhone. That I should admit that I just wanted an iPhone and my criticism towards Android were invalid.

    I felt like talking to cultists. But I don’t think mods needed to involve. Lemmy is what it is.

      Sad to hear.

      But I don’t think mods needed to involve.

      I think they should to an extend, especially if the topic is Apple, being Apple to like Apple products seems like an evidence.

        I sometimes wish voting (or downvoting) could be limited to subscribers the subscribers of a community. Do you think this could help reduce cases like this?
