It reads a little condescending imo

… Is technology the wrong channel for cache-clear messages, are we not reminding to clear cache anymore, or is my tone being misinterpreted…? Truely interested

Fair enough. It was meant to be more, "hey everyone, I’m an idiot and thought my app was misbehaving then remembered that i merged to clear the cache. After deleting 3 and a half gigs it’s working very well again. The bit about regularly scheduled programming was probably more projection than anything else. :) Sorry if i came off sounding like a prick, of you heard me say it out loud, it would have been dripping with self depreciation.

I would probably just uninstall the app and switch to something else to be honest.

Must be all the ellipses. Lol

I can’t remember the last time I cleared a cache. Ten years ago maybe?

You’re one of the smart ones then. This message is for the rest of us

Well,
Don’t dwell on it though. The internet can be harsh and your were well-meaning :)

Huh, when i started in on Lemmy it seemed that emptying overgrown caches was the first step in troubleshooting app woes. Have they gotten to a place where this isn’t the case? Was i misinformed? Thunder seems to be more snappy now that i cleared it.

If it’s an app in early development, then that’s probably a problem with an app.
Which comes back to another issue with your post. You didn’t say what app you were talking about. Cache clearing should not be general advice.

Ahhh. That is good to know. Well, my most down-voted post will at least have taught me something. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
