    I don’t understand? I am judging the community for not wanting to be judged? Am I missing something

    Just because there are lots of upvotes doesn’t mean the responders are kind.

    I can’t believe how many people were giving me crap for the layout I wanted. On a custom keyboard focused community.

    I acknowledge the kind posters. Most interactions were frustrating.

      It’s always funny to me when people make posts advocating for moderation polices in a way that would straight up get them banned due to those policies.

      Don’t answer the comments you find frustrating, as this will not lead to a fruitful discussion. In a hobby such as this there will be a lot of passionate people, some of them have invested countless hours into their own optimal layout. So the answers will be personal opinions. And if ones opinion is “I recommend against this layout, its better to change your typing habits” then this “judging” is more like a opinionated recommendation.

      I dont know if this is a cultural thing, but this behaviour, up/down-ratio, even the type of comments are pretty normal (and for me expected) for a niche community like custom/ergo-mech KBs. You trying to school everyone makes you look like a dick, thats what the one commenter meant by getting banned because being rude.

      Tldr: Be open to other opinions, pick the persons you want to talk to, don’t try to school a whole community as it appears arrogant and ignorant.
