The moment your culture makes you feel any kind of superiority or entitlement to make others feel bad it becomes a problem, no matter the source of those feelings or who it’s directed at.
As a veteran of all these spaces, I feel like Lemmy feels superior for being what reddit was circa 2007, a small, underground but tight-knight community of free-agents and strong, independent thinkers. With less underage sexual abuse material. (As far as I know.)
It’s funny because despite being a site that seems to openly take pride in being further left than reddit, a lot of the people are the exact same people that they hated in reddit; a lot of isolated white male young american gamers with poor social experience, so left to its own devices this site would become a carbon-copy of reddit, warts and all.
Yeah, how dare people have interests that don’t align with my own!
Tbh I look down on any hobby that’s just about owning things
If you work on your own cars cool and neat but if you don’t they’re just really big funko pops
And like I never bring this up to anyone cause I do me best to not be a dickwad but I can’t help but feel a little digusted by collecting hobbies
Idk
i once had my town’s largest collection of Jack In the Box antenna toppers (i had 4) and am personally and deeply offended by this statement

I mean, this is Lemmy—practically everyone here feels superior to folks who use Twitter/reddit/Meta products/etc.
(Only half /s with this one…)
