      Sigh, just exactly how does pretending not to know about reddit contribute to the discussion?

        It’s modeling an attitude dismissive of the subject platform. It could also be highlighting one’s feelings on discussing the behaviors of that platform’s management.

        Good, bad, or indifferent, it’s a contribution and topical to boot.

          Nope, I can’t see how claiming that you don’t know about not just the post’s subject matter but also the entire community’s subject matter, adds anything to the discussion other than annoying others

            I found it sympathetic tbh.

            I can’t see how discouraging engagement on a free and open alternative promotes the goals of most lemmy instances. I get that some want a small isolated and difficult to reach communities but the mainstream statement is usually along the lines of displacing commercial media by means of providing a welcoming alterative.
