    Why, oh why is so hard for some people to comment without the snark?

    Anyway, I updated the post. Hope that makes it easier for you to find it now.

      Attitudes like this are what turns the general public away from giving something the time of day.

        This is not about “the general public”. If your comment was “That sounds interesting but you didn’t put the link to the project”, you’d have achieved the same thing and you wouldn’t sound like the anti-social loser like you do now.

          Straight to the personal attacks, I’m sure this can only end well.

          This is not how you promote a project…

            I am not affiliated with the project. The developers have nothing to do with me. Judging them by my interactions here is unfair to them and makes no sense.

            Anyway, my aggressive tone was just in reaction to the initial snarky know-it-all tone from parent. I have no idea when it became acceptable to write in this tone and still be expected a polite response, but here we are.

            As much as I dislike getting into stupid internet fights, I am not here to suffer these type of fools. I will respond well when interacting with civil people and I will push back if someone acts out like a bully.

              Sorry, but you got offended for nothing. OP rightfully pointed out that it’s crucial to link to what you’re talking about… You taking it personally is completely misplaced.

                My issue is with the tone, not the content. I think that Reddit has normalized this style of discourse, and Lemmy is unfortunately imported this as well.

                Or maybe it’s a generational thing and this prevalent smugness is a way for teenagers to show detachment since everyone seems to be socialized through screens nowadays?

                I don’t know, really, but it’s not something that should be considered socially acceptable.

                  You asked what was missing, I engaged by reading your blog post and replied, without malice, that a link to the project would be good addition to your content.

                  I have no control over how you interpreted my comment, but somehow you took complete offense and showed us your entire asshole with a childish ad hominem attack.

                  My guy, you escalated the tiniest nudge into calling them an “anti-social loser.” You’re getting big mad about bone-dry suggestions. Be less hypocritical.

          You have made me actively avoid Project Absence of Details Given just by being associated with my introduction to it.
