In what world does apple enthusiast equate to a tech bro?
I’d say the vast majority of apple enthusiasts are people who don’t have much of an idea of how any of their products work.
Get out of here with this garbage; this is exactly what’s hindering federated social media. Gatekeeping tech nerds.
Where did I say that Apple Enthusiast equates to tech bros? In fact, I specifically differentiated Apple people from those in the computer hardware community.
I agree that the majority of Apple enthusiasts may not know “how their products work,” but if one is a self-described “Apple Enthusiast,” I’d be surprised if they didn’t even know about Apple Silicon. It’s only their biggest ACTUAL innovation of the past few years (imo).
Look. I see you have an axe to grind, but I’m not sure where my standard of “expecting Apple Enthusiasts to know about the existence of Apple Silicon” contributes to the slow adoption of federated social media. I mean, if you want an award for being an early adopter, then I’ll mail you a ribbon. I’m just glad you’re here making it a much more pleasant experience!
It’s not an exclusive club and anyone is free to comment. Ignore them if you don’t feel like it belongs but to tell them off and tell them they shouldn’t be posting here is shit bullies do.
Grow up and be a better person.
