    The other posts aren’t very related to technology either, and that’s my point. There was a time before Lemmy, when /r/Technology was focused on delivering news about new technology. Not tangentially related news about pro climate laws. Not the politics of social media companies. Not Elon Musk spam. Technology. /r/Science was vastly different in the past as well. In general, these communities had much more substantiative content with nuanced discussions in the comments from experts in relevant fields. Lemmy was a bit like that as well in the past. But unfortunately bots like this one started reposting all of the drivel from Reddit to the main Technology community, drowning out content with more depth. I want communities that I can genuinely learn from. I want to feel hesitant to comment, because everyone in the room is smarter than me. I miss that version of the internet.

        Yet you are, however, following a direct mirror of reddit right here in this community. Fully automated for your convenience.

            Just because you’re not smart enough to get that other guy’s points doesn’t make him wrong, fwiw

              I’m fully aware of this. I’m trying to figure out what the point they’re attempting to make is in the first place. It’d be difficult for me to concede if the point is incomprehensible to me.

                  This post has pretty much nothing to do with technology.

                  That’s very clearly not the point being made by the message:

                  Yet you are, however, following a direct mirror of reddit right here in this community. Fully automated for your convenience.

                  This is the message I’m not understanding the point of.

                  I suppose I do also have a “legitimate mental handicap” in that I suffer ADHD, but that’s not relevant to the subject at hand from what I can tell.

                    You claimed not to use reddit but are using a reddit mirroring service. Whether or not you have been on reddit in years has nothing to do with the validity of his earlier point concerning the importance of keeping boards tied to the topic of intended discussion. Which of course were tied to reddit because reddit was the predecessor of this site…

                    Is it really that hard to read?
