The smugness can be a bit annoying but I interpret it as mostly jokes and healthy for the growth of the platform. I am enjoying myself more here than on Reddit, and when I see that others share that sentiment (smugly or not), it does embolden me to encourage my friends to give Lemmy a try.
Idk, if all the discussion on Lemmy was ‘damn this place sucks’ then I wouldn’t want to share it with my friends. Maybe it is just a bad take though lol I’m not feeling too hot on it reading it back now

Did you just reframe smugness as not only justified but helpful actually, and really it makes a place more popular?
That’s some 4D smugness.

This is all in good nature… I mean, there is a reason why quite a few of us are here. Myself included.
…and yeah, I’d like to see healthy engagement here and if that means a little smugness just to convince people to get involved, I’ll take it.
