It’s the same as with Linux, GIMP, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. Some people are so used to their routines that they expect everything to work the same and get easily pissed when not.

    Thing is, and this might be pretty rude to say, but I don’t think I want the average Joe with an attention span of a fruit fly that can’t handle pressing the log in button three times without having a little meltdown on to be the driving force behind content and discourse here.

    The average Joe coming from Reddit is what made Reddit the circle jerky, “HOLD MY HAT I’M GOING IN/YOU MUST BE FUN AT PARTIES/AMERICA BAD” dip shit fest that it has been for a long time.

    I’m OK with these things being not perfect or super fast or not exact copies of Reddit if it blows away some of the chaff.

      • I spit out my coffee.
      • I blew coffee out my nose.
      • I spit coffee on my self.
      • Thanks you owe me a new shirt cos I just spit coffee on it.

      Every single fucking one thinks they’re the funniest, most original comedian alive when posting one of these variants.
