We’re not all bad.

Also “CSAM” is a better term

I see. I had noticed people using that term instead, but I never knew why. Thanks for the info.

But then if you report something nobody should see, say CP for example, you’re suddenly subjecting 20 random people into seeing it.

Just as a reminder, the only thing the original comment that I replied to said was:

To be fair, you can’t exactly ask for a GIMP replacement on r/GIMP and not expect that reaction

There was no context in the original image or the original comment that the OP was being an ass about it. All I was arguing is that you shouldn’t immediately expect toxicity if you’re not being toxic yourself. I do agree it’s not the proper place to ask, and that your answers aren’t going to be super helpful.

Depends on how you ask.

“This is a horrible program and I hate everything about it. Any of you actually using this program are masochists and need to get some help. Anyway, can you idiots recommend some alternatives?”

vs

“I tried out this program and didn’t really like it, it was too complicated to use (or) doesn’t have a feature I need, do you guys know of any good alternatives I can try out?”

Apparently the OP in this image was closer to the first one, so I don’t really blame them for being toxic. But if I asked like in the second example and these are the responses I get, they’re the problem, not my question.

Sure you can.

Fair, but these are all perfectly valid reasons to do so on Lemmy as well, so I still think it makes more sense to do so here than on Reddit.

Why? I feel like that would be more common on Lemmy than anything. There is an actual point in using different instances here, I don’t see any point whatsoever on Reddit.

is it really Arch if you’re not going in dry?

I think the first note was fine. It’s definitely going to be a spot of confusion for a lot of people. I agree that the rest were largely unnecessary though.
