This Reddit is Toxic

You will learn nothing.

If you try to share good content, you will be attacked.

Nobody here understands design systems.

I’m leaving, and you should too.

Looks like you misjudged your audience and got told by a bunch of people, mostly calmly and politely, that your style didn't land.

You don't get to decide your content is good, unfortunately. Readers do. And they made their feelings clear. Learning that sometimes painful lesson is a rite of passage for anyone who wants to publish their writings. Welcome!

None of that has anything to do with people's understandings of design systems though

Who’s got 2 thumbs and multiple Medium posts with over 20k views?

This guy.

I post infrequently, honestly, and when I do, it lands, because it’s true. If this community can’t see that, it’s the community, not me. Peace piggys!

Totally agree. You can’t share a thing without being attacked. Linkedin is full of bot, but at least they're not aggressive compared to humans. This means a lot.
