Do you get, though, how it doesn't improve a thread asking people what they're most excited about right now when you reply telling someone they're wrong?

Sorry I posted the wrong songs.
I've been listening to Metallica's One and ...And Justice for All repeatedly, their two best tracks.
I wouldn't even say it was bad, it just felt like a Netflix show which is some intangible quality I can't articulate that made it feel cheap and rushed.
Only 11 episodes total for 2 "seasons"? They picked the right showrunners for rushing through the end of a series. It was never going to end well when it was Netflix that got the rights.
If I had the freedom and opportunity to emigrate casually, I would. I can live with not turning my life upside down and leaving my family behind. I couldn't live with still supporting Reddit and Twitter because I can get more clout there than on Lemmy.
Likewise, not ever being in public is simply impossible so it's another worthless comparison.
You posted a lot of words, yes, but it was a Twitter-quality take.
Still being on Reddit in 2025 is a leopards eating your face situation.
That reminds me to start testing alternatives to Discord.
I waited over a year before buying a new water filter for the fridge, and then when it arrived I let it sit for another year before replacing the old one with it.
It's stupid rage bait for morons.

I'm just saying, in life there are contexts where your disagreement is meant to be part of the discussion, like a best song thread, and then there's other contexts where criticizing what someone likes, even in a non mean spirited way, subtly depresses the fun of the situation.
When I was younger I didn't get that, my friends would talk about things they liked and I'd instinctively disagree. And at a certain age I realized I'd be better company if I didn't interrupt their enthusiasm. Because the world sucks and enthusiasm is hard to cultivate.
