I posted a comment, complimenting a fellow artist and a commenter turned it into an ordeal. I ended up getting massively downvoted. Why tf do I even need reddit? It’s much more friendly on Lemmy.
For context, I thought someones work was professional but they called themselves a beginner. I thought they could sell it. Most of the other commenters thought it was intermediate at best and told me I was stifling the skills of said OP by telling them they are professional. ‘Why don’t you let them grow their skill?’ they proclaimed. SMH. I just wanted to give a compliment. Toxicity. I usually have good compliments for people to build them up.
What were they comparing it to. I still thought it was pretty professional. C’mon. That was ridiculous.
Rant over.
I mean it’s reddit. Nuff said.
Left that cesspool years ago
Why tf do I even need reddit?
You don’t. Honestly, I have been thinking the same thing about myself and I assume it is more a habit and/ or addiction to use reddit at this point.
If you want to use Reddit and see some of the subreddits you follow, perhaps try to use RSS?
Reddit as a whole has become much more toxic, hateful and agressive. All that meanwhile the content is significantly decreasing in value, it is much more reposts of the same things than actual new and enjoyable things.
