That's why when I left reddit I don't delete my posts (even if those posts suck)

Bonus:

As a software engineer...

Don't just say "just Google it". Guide them to the documentation. Ask them about the detail of the question. If it's an bug, try asking them if they can reproduce the bug.


This reminded me of the time I'm looking for how to do certain things in a software. I found a reddit post asking about the same issue and this is the reply OP got:

screenshot of a reddit thread where OP got a rude reply to search it themselves

Here is the link: https://old.reddit.com/r/i3wm/comments/mupjsf/how_to_showhide_i3status_bar_taskbar/

Imagine. You search the issue you have. Found the ONLY reddit thread that talks about this, and the ONLY thread that talks about the issue have NO USEFUL ANSWER and, worse, the only reply is TELLING YOU TO SEARCH IT YOURSELF. This got upvoted too 😭😭😭.

Luckily, I found the solution (tbh the solution was there in the docs, but the wording wasn't clear and it makes it hard to search) and I end up replying the OP the actual answer.

So, this is a PSA for the fediverse: be nice. It's free.

While we're still young, we have a chance to become a better forum.

Also possibly an unpopular opinion: you shouldn't downvote a question, even if it was asked multiple times. Guide them to the answer instead

You keep dismissing said person as a troll, yet I feel like they have a point

I know you're not the same moderator they were talking about, but I just want to make you aware of this: https://ponder.cat/comment/1193264

This moderator behavior here is exactly what you'd see on reddit lol

I use solarpunk and disappointed that it happened to you. I felt like solarpunk was the best instance Lemmy has, it feels like it has the least amount of echo chamber. Maybe I'm wrong.

I moderate my own community in solarpunk and I will try my best to not be like the moderator you talk about

Good point. Though that MSR type of reactors eliminates nuclear meltdown scenario AFAIK. So it shouldn't be as bad as Fukushima... I think?

Reminds me of Malaysia's .com.my

I wanted something like Skyscrapercity forum but on Lemmy, or something similar to r/transit.

...Also just wanna give Lemmy the last chance, if it turns out sucks, tbh I will leave. You already know how negative my impression of Lemmy
