Since a lot of folks sort by “all” on Lemmy, popular posts get overwhelmed by people who don’t daily drive operating systems like iOS or MacOS.
I like outside perspectives and all, but when the majority of the “community” discussion is coming from people who aren’t even using these products, it is pretty hard to have informed conversations.
Moreover, I feel like this type of engagement creates a lot of threads that get pretty combative and catty. They’re often started by people who are trying to argue and convince iOS / MacOS users that they’ve picked the wrong side of the fence.
Anyone else feel me on this? I imagine this is a problem for other communities on Lemmy as well.
The only cult I ever see IRL is the cult of Android and Linux users that feel like their unwarranted opinion is something anyone asked for. Lemmy tends to have more tech-savvy people in its communities so even Windows doesn’t escape the wrath of these people. For all the complaints of fanboyism, the worst fanboys are the anti-Apple ones.
