Everyone reading this thread already knows you’re an asshole, dude. No need to expand upon it.

It’s also a volume thing. By the time I reach a reddit comment thread what I wanted to say has already been said, and if I say it again my comment will drown in a sea of heavily upvoted comments. On lemmy you can be several days late to the party and still get both upvotes and responses.

Doesn’t matter who you’re talking about, my comment is equally valid no matter who you directed your tirade at. Do you think the developers did that as a personal attack on you? Just report the bug in a civilized way! There’s no need for attitude.

There are better ways of alerting them of that problem than that rant. You’re talking like they deliberately slighted you.
