It’s absolute bullshit. I ended up returning to Reddit for the technical subs precisely because I’m sick and tired of the smug cunts on Lemmy that publicly whinge about AI at the drop of a hat, but probably use it constantly behind the curtains. There’s no discussion to be had on Lemmy about AI; it’s automatically a fight.

Reddit is nowhere near as antagonistic to it. I’m not reading any of the default subs, of course, but the technical subs have useful discussion without constant acrimony from people that have no interest in being there except to be assholes.

It’s a downside to low traffic on Lemmy that encourages people to browse All, and end up inserting themselves into a discussion they wouldn’t have run across in their actual subscribed comms.
