      The comment I was replying to said “Don’t make perfect the enemy of good!”, likely referring to getting users onto the fediverse from sites like reddit. I think recommending almost any instance but those ones is a good idea to newcomers.

      Also, just because the title references centralisation, the biggest problem plaguing LW, doesn’t mean there are other reasons to avoid it.

        What context do you think they said that in? Were they referring to a completely different post? No, obviously not, the entire discussion has been about centralisation, because you made the title of the thread about centralisation, and now that’s being used against you you’re pretending that somehow the entire discussion you created about centralisation isn’t about centralisation.

            So you’re annoyed about people being recommended lemmy.world, but not because of centralisation, you just titled it like you’re annoyed by the centralisation? Are you just being a troll now?

              No, I’m not trolling.
              I’m annoyed about people recommending LW, but not specifically because of centralisation. Centralisation is one of the larger issues though.

              It honestly feels like you are misinterpreting the post (and comments) on purpose. Are you trolling?

                Go look at your post from an impartial perspective. Forget what you were generally thinking about while making and posting it and look at what you actually posted and how you titled it. There is nothing there to indicate you were thinking about anything else. Nobody here is a mind reader, we do not have the context of the other stuff you were thinking about. The responses are to what you posted.

                    It doesn’t matter if you’ve clarified what you meant to me, the discussion was about centralisation, so is still in that context. You need to go back and answer people’s actual questions instead of just claiming to me that you meant far more than you said.
