If there's one place where I think the wrong Reddit attitude is starting to crop up is the anti/pro sync discourse that's going on.
People are even outright lying about apps. Such as claiming other apps have toms of bugs, meanwhile, I'm trying out sync and there's a comment sorting bug if you switch to top, some comments show up isolated when they're a reply to something else, and even have several lines coming off from nowhere if you turn on colored indentations. Never seen this anywhere else, not even on Jerboa which is the oldest and generally least stable. Another bug, although this one I've seen, is that Sync doesn't properly list all self-posts on the profile pages. Meanwhile, sync IS the most feature rich, and others are denying it. One example, Sync not just has an actual toggle for in-comment media preloading (they called them emotes for some reason), they even let you toggle specific services on generic link handling.
What I did here, is what those people don't. Give specifics. This tribalism is peak upvote downvote fighting style characteristic of big /r/all communities on reddit and I hate it. Garbage threads.
The Sync drama truly is a Reddit moment.
