This is the key. Different products are intuitive for different people. Some people prefer less customizability with less barrier to entry. I recommend Apple products for a lot of users even though I strongly prefer Android/Linux/Widows. I also strongly prefer the Mac trackpad and gesture support. I use a Mac laptop for anything not work related because I hate the way trackpads work on Windows (even using the superior Mac trackpad).

All that said, if someone else prefers iOS, or Windows trackpads (or even likes those awful little buttons on Lenovos), then they should use them! Use what works for you!

Funny, I immediately assumed it was an insecure guy

Yea, exactly, I was looking for an alternative to r/nba, and there’s nothing atm

There is one and I’m subbed, if you search communities for nba it’s easy to find. Unfortunately the r/NBA community was heavily opposed to blackouts, and I’m skeptical we’ll see much migration. It’s a very different culture than the other subs I’m in.

Yea, that’s the hope. I’m subscribed, but a lot of the value is knowing I’m catching the latest news. If news broke in the last 5 minutes then it’s on r/NBA. If I can’t count on that then the value diminishes significantly. Hopefully the community will grow as will the activity.

It’s not just corporate reddit though. Consider the time and effort invested in these communities. Obviously I left because I don’t want to support reddit (and because their non 3rd party interface is almost unusable), but there are mods of small communities that have put thousands of hours into building up these subs.

Ask Historians is a perfect example of a sub that gets punished by modified comments (and they have been highly supportive of protests). They are so heavily moderated that every comment is 100% on topic and each comment lost makes the hard work they put in less worthwhile. Now each person has a right to delete their own content, but it sucks to write a 3 page essay response with citations only to have the context be removed to spite reddit. The mods and contributors of the subs are suffering too, and at a time when maintaining the community is much harder.

Is missing an active NBA community, which is/was at least half of my reddit traffic along with several other subs I frequented, so I that regard it’s a let down.

The interface is already better on jerboa than anything reddit ever made, and I haven’t had a ton of issues, just missing the communities.

The simultaneous nuance and beauty of the art coupled with inability to get hands right. It’s both humorous and chilling.
