Randomly made a little post on Reddit that cloned one I made on lemmy, and it really showed the difference in user. I brought a screen protector and mentioned it didn’t have glue and got a comment from each platform regarding the same issue that really made me realise the difference in communities and how tired I’ve become of the whole “well ackually” mentality of Reddit.

Lemmy comment, just asking a question and provides a solution trying to help: “Is it perhaps static cling, or do you have to apply with a water/soap solution?”

Reddit comment just randomly guessing and making out I’m a moron who doesn’t know how screen protectors work despite me saying in the description I’d done so, got 14 upvotes on a 20 upvoted post, so this is basically the vibe of that sub I guess.

"I’m inclined to believe that you didn’t peel the right side. "

This is my rant for the evening, think I’ll go back to not bothering with Reddit any more, maybe I am stupid :D.

    Some subs on Reddit are unpredictable. You may get totally different responses and it sometimes seem to depend what the first responses are. a couple of times I’ve made a post and the first answer is some sort of scolding “well you should’ve known better!”, And then everyone votes that up and the next five replies are the same… So I just deleted it, and reposted at a different time of day two days later, and the replies are helpful, sympathetic and supportive.
