Since a lot of folks sort by “all” on Lemmy, popular posts get overwhelmed by people who don’t daily drive operating systems like iOS or MacOS.
I like outside perspectives and all, but when the majority of the “community” discussion is coming from people who aren’t even using these products, it is pretty hard to have informed conversations.
Moreover, I feel like this type of engagement creates a lot of threads that get pretty combative and catty. They’re often started by people who are trying to argue and convince iOS / MacOS users that they’ve picked the wrong side of the fence.
Anyone else feel me on this? I imagine this is a problem for other communities on Lemmy as well.
Overall i think it increases engagement which in turn keeps people motivated to continue to post here. As long as I can keep getting timely news and advice, I’m all for it. I don’t use apple products because I want validation from fediversers; I use them because they are the best devices for my use cases.
Other people are free to disagree. It doesn’t cost me anything to just keep scrolling if I see Apple “hate mail”.
