Between this and “people”, which I also like, this got more upvotes. So I’m gonna go ahead and edit the title with your suggestion.

Yeah I was honestly struggling to find the right word for this title lol. Soldiers definitely doesn’t feel right.

Good point actually. It’s been a while since I’ve watched these films and I remember this scene being emotional but I don’t think I thought about it too hard beyond that. But you’re right, he probably purposely says that in a language they’ll understand, to be on their level and an honest leader.

Yeah that’s fair. Although Reddit also has a lot more users, so the snarky people and the ones that can’t just scroll past something they don’t like stick out more.

So I think, in terms of conversations like this where the bottom line is there’s just not enough users to have all the same communities as Reddit, people could maybe be a bit friendlier to noobs or towards communities they don’t like.

Like, I remember when I first got here, I was still interested in discussing Reddit, so I was around the Reddit community for a bit. And I remember so many people around there just interacting in bad faith. Yes we know Reddit is shit, thanks, your take is isn’t hot, it’s years old.

It wasn’t completely off putting but pretty fucking annoying. In general it’s pretty fucking annoying.

But as you say, Reddit was the same, so it’s not like it’s a Lemmy specific issue. And probably can’t be helped without iron fisted levels of moderation that no one wants.

Your title made me think of this picture.

In case anyone thought the “rockstar” being referred to was Joe Strummer, it’s actually Gene Simmons.
