You know the phrase I've heard more in the #Fediverse than ANYWHERE else?

"just my 2 cents"

I think this sums up the culture here pretty well. People just LOVE to tell you how you've got it wrong. This ESPECIALLY applies to posts that aren't even TRYING to be opinionated. There is just this vocal contingent (sometimes german? always male) that is hell bent on making sure there isn't "Someone wrong on the internet"

See if you can help yourself and not critique ;-) I certainly don't want it

It's a garbage account, some have been popping up in this community since it's unmoderated. Account is 2 years old, the only post is this one, the only comment is to yours in this thread.

Nah, it's people on replacement twitter acting like they did on Twitter.

When viewed from an instance that's more reddit like, it shows a blank history, but if you click their account name for their instance again it shows you their post history on the Twitter knockoff.

I'm betting the reason they're so confused is they make posts to instances where they don't understand how it works.

OP claims to be a boomer ex-google employee, and they're definitely acting like it. All the other real name accounts are likely their followers from their own instance, which is why they keep tagging people they reply too.

If they weren't all raging narcissists, it really wouldn't be that hard to help them understand.

But they think they know everything, which a smart person never does. That's how people become smart, always being open to learning something.

Boomers as a generation aren't very good at that. Their entire careers one of the most important things for their success was insisting they're the smartest in the room and that they're never wrong.

So after 40 years of that, they literally don't know how to admit they're wrong about something, so they haven't learned anything new in decades.

On Voyager I see this OP and nothing else. I guess I'm not missing anything

Nah, just an old rich white dude claiming they can fix everything because they're an old rich white dude.

Does make this post more ironic, but that's about all you're missing.
