Let me explain this - that's how the internet has always...no, it's not even the internet, as people in general have been that way even before. It's just more apparent when you have many people all connected and discussing all at once. This isn't a Lemmy thing. Or a Reddit thing. Or whatever forum you want to use. It's people.
What it really is though - not everyone knows everything, so when someone misses the point, helping them understand it is more constructive than belittling their ignorance. Guaranteed that where there is one vocal of their confusion, there are many others lurking who can benefit. And you did at the end, that's a decent link to why offsets are a scam. Just could have started there instead.
I guess I could have done the same and just linked to XKCD's Ten Thousand which makes the same point quickly.
Yeah, maybe I was sorta rude about it. IDK, it's just an overall vibe I've specifically noticed on Lemmy that people tend to assume that the other people they're talking to probably don't know things. It's a really toxic feature in a community. I do it too, and I make a concerted effort not to, and when I see something that looks like that's getting pointed at me I get irritated about it. Probably for reasons of my own.
I think you're right that my message was a little more pointed about it than it needed to be. It would have been pretty easy for me to say "Oh 100% they're a scam in most cases, here's a video about it, that's the whole point of what we were saying."
