    This post has pretty much nothing to do with technology.

    That’s very clearly not the point being made by the message:

    Yet you are, however, following a direct mirror of reddit right here in this community. Fully automated for your convenience.

    This is the message I’m not understanding the point of.

    I suppose I do also have a “legitimate mental handicap” in that I suffer ADHD, but that’s not relevant to the subject at hand from what I can tell.

      You claimed not to use reddit but are using a reddit mirroring service. Whether or not you have been on reddit in years has nothing to do with the validity of his earlier point concerning the importance of keeping boards tied to the topic of intended discussion. Which of course were tied to reddit because reddit was the predecessor of this site…

      Is it really that hard to read?

        I’m using links that also appear on reddit reposted by a bot to a different service that is not reddit.

        Whether or not you have been on reddit in years has nothing to do with the validity of his earlier point concerning the importance of keeping boards tied to the topic of intended discussion.

        They’re the one who focused in on that. I was simply saying that I can’t relate to their experience with Reddit before Lemmy.

        Which of course were tied to reddit because reddit was the predecessor of this site…

        And?

        Is it really that hard to read?

        I suppose it must be. Would you like to insult me more?

            Why don’t you just call me the R word or some other slur directly at this point? lmao
            This is clearly unproductive. You also fail to acknowledge or respond to anything else I’ve said. I guess I’m just too stupid to understand.

              Ok, let me go in depth, as that too stupid to understand conclusion is actually the one I came to.

              Reddit mirroring, which was poor word choice on my part, refers to the fact that Lemmy is just a federated version of reddit. The UX is entirely the same. Whether or not you are a reddit user has nothing to do with this.

              The community basis of Lemmy, the site we’re currently on, comes from reddit as the other user was talking about. So does the importance of keeping the discussion boards to their topics.

              Your relation to reddit is completely irrelevant in this discussion.

              Was that simple enough for you? Or do you need pictures?

                The UX is entirely the same.

                I don’t think the UX is ultimately relevant to what the person I was responding to was saying. They were distinctly talking about the content, and specifically the content “before Lemmy”, of which I have no familiarity, as I did not use Reddit at that time.

                The community basis of Lemmy, the site we’re currently on, comes from reddit

                As someone who’s been here since before the reddit exodus in June, it’s hard for me to agree with this. We’ve had someone of an Eternal September, but the community is based on FLOSS advocates and communities.

                So does the importance of keeping the discussion boards to their topics.

                “The importance of keeping discussion boards to their topics comes from reddit” doesn’t really make sense and is non-sequitur, but even if I accept it, whether reddit did it or not is irrelevant. Communities here are often run and managed distinctly from how Reddit is. And as the person I was responding to pointed out and you conceded, this post actually came from Reddit anyways, so it’s a moot point.

                Your relation to reddit is completely irrelevant in this discussion.

                I’m glad we agree on this. My relation to reddit is largely irrelevant to this discussion, and only relevant insofar as to my familiarity with a particular era of reddit the person I was responding to wanted to see return.

                Was that simple enough for you? Or do you need pictures?

                It’d be pretty funny if you threw in some pictures tbh.
