A bad take from a good person. I like your history so i want you to think about this...Don't get mad at or direct hate towards passionate people. The world needs them to make stuff for the rest of us schlubs who spread our attention thin. Besides, isn't some of that annoyance, just a little of that prickly feeling, jealousy?

I get the feeling you're expressing here, i do. I've felt it myself. I personally have wondered why, and done some self-reflection and considered maybe this is my answer. If it makes sense then maybe it is your answer too. Whatever you're reason for feeling this way, the next thing to ponder is is whether expressing this emotion to others has a practical use for them to hear, out for you to say.

This one is a feeling that is useless to everyone especially yourself.

it is one to recognize as a failing and to work on, not to express in a forum as an emotion to be proud of

Fair enough, I was too casual to judge a community based on the circlejerk. But my frustrations lie with the circlejerk that there is more on lemmy.

Just wanted to drop a comment to let you know I really appreciated reading all of your comment, as it was well written, diplomatic and direct, worthy of conversation. Well done.
