Getting scrutinized on Reddit. (lemmy.world)

I posted a comment, complimenting a fellow artist and a commenter turned it into an ordeal. I ended up getting massively downvoted. Why tf do I even need reddit? It's much more friendly on Lemmy.

For context, I thought someones work was professional but they called themselves a beginner. I thought they could sell it. Most of the other commenters thought it was intermediate at best and told me I was stifling the skills of said OP by telling them they are professional. 'Why don't you let them grow their skill?' they proclaimed. SMH. I just wanted to give a compliment. Toxicity. I usually have good compliments for people to build them up.

What were they comparing it to. I still thought it was pretty professional. C'mon. That was ridiculous.

Rant over.

IDK if you were an old reddit user, but I can't recommend https://old.lemmy.world/ skin enough. Really helped me break the reddit habit. Because lets be honestly, it was just a habit and muscle memory taking me back there.

I deleted all my comments but kept my account just in case they try to recover them so I can delete them again, then I logged out and haven't looked back.

I'll give the same advice I give in all the reddit migration threads, try changing your default sort to "Active" or "New Comments" and that is where all the conversations are happening.
