Is it a bad response?

Ok maybe we back up here and assume I'm not evil and full of malice. I'm here scrolling through Lemmy reading things and I see all of this data that someone clearly put a lot of work into without any explanation. What's my engagement? How am I supposed to derive that the relevant info is (again I don't want to be mean) poorly explained in the sidebar? What if I wanted to send these stats to a friend?

I guess I'm sorry for being critical.

Sure, I will bite! Happy to assume no evil or malice and it is mostly down to a misunderstanding.

I think your original comment was fine. If we were to nitpick, it potentially could have used a compliment like "it looks very interesting" to clarify that it comes out of interest.

The response you got on this was, although a bit snarky, informative enough for you to find out more information about it. I assume you read the sidebar by now, as you stated you are not malicious.

If you were to want to respond by critiquing the post that it would have been helpful if this information was available closer to the post itself, I figure a comment as below would result in fewer downvotes:

"Thank you for your directions. I see now that it is about ... Interesting how ... I do think that it would be nice if some of this information was available in the post description, as this might further increase engagement from outsiders that are just browsing the Lemmy homepage".

Interested to hear about your perspective and if I got anything wrong.

You're right I could have been kinder in my comment and the follow ups.

I apologize

Thanks for taking the time to engage.
