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.

This is a part of speaking with people online that I think a lot of us miss. Sometimes we're just cranky and not thinking at our best and sometimes it's the other person. But we too often assume we're dealing with the essential person
