    Nothing I have said is to the contrary of anything. And if you cannot understand that people are here because they did not like Reddit then you are part of the problem.

      A lot of people are here because they like the experience of reddit but not the company running it.

          That’s… yeah, exactly, that’s what you’re doing, thus making this platform feel more like Reddit. While me and the other commenters don’t care for that shit. Can you see how you seem to be against your point?

              Twist what? I think I’ve been pretty consistent and clear in my position that non-automated “reposts” are not inherently harmful to Lemmy, nor that having reposts makes Lemmy “like Reddit”. Flash news, 99% of the content on the internet was posted somewhere else too. Are you sure you’re not twisting into mental gymnastics to avoid seeing how you’ve been acting like a typical Redditor by refusing conversation and unnecessarily insulting someone for disagreeing with you?

      You seem really intentioned on antagonising me for being someone that is not being contrarian. What is your last sentence even supposed to mean? “Cannot understand that people are here because they did not like Reddit”, really?

      You are having a redditor moment by falling into shallow campism and name-calling instead of discussing a point critically.

          It was in response to being called intentionally obtuse and “part of the problem” after pointing out that you were attacking me without making logical sense. Contrarian was a poor choice of words I admit, maybe hostile would’ve been more appropriate.

              “called out” implies that I did something wrong. I was expressing an opinion and you called me obtuse without arguing why, then went to make that “if you cannot understand that people are here because they did not like Reddit then you are part of the problem” statement which I ironically find quite obtuse - I don’t think you honestly believed I don’t know/understand that users here don’t want it to be Reddit. Or what “problem” exactly I’m supposed to be a part of.

              You just decided to see an enemy in me for some reason, and that’s what I meant for contrarian/hostile.

                If you are going to ignore my problem with you then that’s on you. But I very much didn’t “decide to see an enemy”. You are clearly taking this way to seriously.

                  I am not ignoring it, you are not explaining what exactly this problem is. I guess just disagreeing? Or did you really believe my comment was obtuse and that I’m either unintelligent or arguing in bad faith? Btw you’re right, we’re starting to get a bit too deep in the comments, but I do love the irony of someone complaining about reddit and then bringing here the same bad discussions and behaviours.

                    If the sentence “Lemmy does not need to be a copy of Reddit” is to complicated for you then I am done trying to explain.
