Yeah, I will apologize to ya for the unnecessary harshness. Could'a worded it much better than that. Leaving it as is for posterity's sake, but there was no excuse for it.

Good on ya for that, I appreciate you saying it. I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about it, not because its necessarily always 100% unfounded but because my curiosity and willingness to blurt things out like this has led to some really interesting experiences and insights and I won't risk that for ideals or PerfectForm type thinking.

We won't get as big as AskReddit, but even if we did, just sort by Best/Top for whatever period. Lemmy's still got lots of catching up to do in terms of content on tye quantitative side, we've done well generally with the qualitative already by itself by virtue of the self-selection inherent to even knowing what Lemmy is and having an account no less ๐Ÿ˜‰I shitposted before I knew a name for it (like fairly recent development lol) and I saw the consequences, trust me, I'm much more particular now
