      I mean, yeah, I’m on Lemmy and lots of other sites in the Fediverse, but why would that make me “know better”? Is my account supposed to give me some profound insight that sets me apart from the plebs on other sites? What I begin to know unfortunately is that the Fediverse and Lemmy in particular would be much more popular if it wasn’t so full of self-absorbed comments like this. The sole point of this post was to share something I found interesting that day, but if the mere mention of services that aren’t Lemmy provokes these kinds of comments, then I fear Lemmy will never make it out of obscurity.

          Personally, when it comes to Lemmy’s user numbers, I’m more concerned about the condescending tone that keeps getting worse and worse on here than I am about people posting memes about the broader social media landscape. But we don’t have to agree on which of these is more or less helpful.
