Meta: Can we talk about non "Apple Enthusiasts" dominating the threads on c/apple_enthusiasts? (self.apple_enthusiast)

Since a lot of folks sort by “all” on Lemmy, popular posts get overwhelmed by people who don’t daily drive operating systems like iOS or MacOS.

I like outside perspectives and all, but when the majority of the “community” discussion is coming from people who aren’t even using these products, it is pretty hard to have informed conversations.

Moreover, I feel like this type of engagement creates a lot of threads that get pretty combative and catty. They’re often started by people who are trying to argue and convince iOS / MacOS users that they’ve picked the wrong side of the fence.

Anyone else feel me on this? I imagine this is a problem for other communities on Lemmy as well.

I’m fine with Apple getting criticism. It’s often deserved, but what really sets me off is the vitriol commenters direct at users instead of the company. F me for liking my working environment as much as you do yours.
