Probably 95% of the time, honestly.

Almost every time, even when it’s something I’m a SME about. I just don’t want to play the popularity/karma game and deal with nonsense.

I used to think that Reddit was the worst about that but Lemmy has topped it. Reddit would be filled with comments from people that were off about something small that I’m a SME about. People on Lemmy like to engage in entire comment chains that are just flat out wrong that they’re confidently incorrect about.

And you get shouted down for trying to correct them. I generally prefer to just lurk here, discussion is near impossible.

Ah ok, thanks! Figured it had something to do with “expert” but I couldn’t figure it out.

Based on comments above - I’m confident SME stands for “Seinfeld Management Explainer”

I’ve been on the internet long enough I can have the entire argument with myself at this point. I’ve taken to just posting what I want and forgetting about it. They can’t all be bangers.
