It’s the same as with Linux, GIMP, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. Some people are so used to their routines that they expect everything to work the same and get easily pissed when not.

    It’s a little different, because people tend to get pissed because of the context of their routines. If I am trying to do work for school or for a corp, I’m going to be extra irritated when my software fails and I have to relearn something on top of doing work I already don’t want to do.

    Lemmy is just for fun. I think people might be more forgiving.

      The software doesn’t fail, it just has another workflow than what ones used to. Learning a new software takes time but what you describe sounds like a stress situation where any irritation would cause delay and therefore more stress.

        It fails to do what I want, and that’s basically the same when I’m irritated lol

        My point is that Lemmy being different and sometimes frustrating isn’t a big deal because none of us need it to work.
