Meta: Can we talk about non "Apple Enthusiasts" dominating the threads on c/apple_enthusiasts? (lemmy.world)

Since a lot of folks sort by “all” on Lemmy, popular posts get overwhelmed by people who don’t daily drive operating systems like iOS or MacOS.

I like outside perspectives and all, but when the majority of the “community” discussion is coming from people who aren’t even using these products, it is pretty hard to have informed conversations.

Moreover, I feel like this type of engagement creates a lot of threads that get pretty combative and catty. They’re often started by people who are trying to argue and convince iOS / MacOS users that they’ve picked the wrong side of the fence.

Anyone else feel me on this? I imagine this is a problem for other communities on Lemmy as well.

In my household we use only iPhones, Macs, Apple TV, AirPods, Apple Watch etc. I use their products because I find them better than the alternatives. I also contribute plenty of posts critical of Apple here. I want them to do better because they're very hostile to consumers and developers.

Absolutely. I've come to realize that you just can't have a positively minded, widely federated community on Lemmy about something the majority of active users across the system feel negatively about. It's a shame, but I might just end up filtering the community and waiting for better times.

They’re like republicans. They feel threatened and have to lash out. I feel for them.
