    The world is already a miserable enough place without trying to make people feel bad about their content watching habits.

    Exactly this.

    I am the kind of guy who will make fun of you for watching and enjoying the first few seasons of Disco and Picard because I think they suck

    If someone can be friendly while they’re joking around like that, I’m all for it. But it’s hard to get that subtlety into a comment.

      There’s kind of two modes with that. If you’re in a bad mood it’s easy to just become a bulldozer of anger and malice and just shit on every single aspect of the first seasons. Otherwise, it’s just a discussion where we disagree on what things we enjoy.

      I find it easier to have a simple discussion here on Lemmy. On reddit you’re about 50/50 going to encounter somebody angry and malicious, but here it’s probably more like 70/30 towards a good conversation.
