    Eh I see what you’re saying, but that’s not it, this is a pretty well discussed phenomenon at this point

    Meta/twitter style social media is much more tied to the individual, it’s more psychologically impactful to someone if something intrinsic to themselves is criticised

    Reddit/Lemmy style social media is kinda detached from the poster in most cases, it’s about the content. It’s much less psychologically impactful if people react negatively to something that’s nothing to do with you beyond being the messenger.

      You say that but you got one down vote and had to edit your comment demanding answers. Looks like you took that pretty personal.

        I was on -2 when I edited, not taking it personal, just wondered why really. If I’d got a comment at that point I’d have just replied to that
