    I hate these “only a small amount of people will understand” posts

      This is a good “I am Very Smart” candidate which surprisingly doesn’t seem to have an active community here on Lemmy yet…and I might be just fine with that now that I think about it. It seemed like half the posts there on Reddit either were mean spirited, called out the wrong side in an argument, or were actually smart.

        Yeah I don’t think anything of value is lost if we don’t recreate all they bully subreddits.

        They’re unhealthy for their subjects, of course, because imagine seeing a post you made when you were younger on one of those subs and reading all the comments about how terrible a person you are

        But they’re also unhealthy for the subscribers and readers - rage scrolling will fuck you up

          Hard agree. They attract people who like feeling superior to others. You can imagine where things will inevitably lead when you put a bunch of them in the same place.

          That aside it just reeks of trashy.

      “Very few people understand simple and obvious metaphors using common things”

      “Only a small percent of people will understand this obvious metaphor.”

      Same. How are some people so unaware of just how “average” they are?
