Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

MODERATORS
I saw that post and most of the people were being quite nice and even supportive of the idea. After going back and reading most, if not all, of the comments, the vast majority were either neutral, supportive or gave good criticism in a nice manner.
I wonder why are you blowing this out of proportion. Some of your replies don't even make sense given the comment you reply to.
For context, before I made that comment, about 50% of the top level comments were to the tune of "just fix your typing lol".
That being said, I feel OP is also being super defensive, which only paints them as a critic of the community rather than as someone who wants to participate in it.
I myself don't even own any ergo mech keyboards; I'm just interested in them.
(not you)
I am making a joke about the situation I had.
Yes. People were nice. Im making a joke about the mean ones.
The (untasteful) joke is about the whole community being negative. Quite different from just the "mean ones". Plus, as I said, the vast majority of the comments were either neutral, positive or respectful opinions.
You are going to find a couple of trolls and douches on every community, doesn't mean the whole community should look like asshats on a meme because of that.
Man. It was a meme format. You control your thoughts. You are allowed to not like it. You are allowed to ignore the many times Ive said it's meant about the few who were mean.
You are choosing to ignore me.
No, you're just choosing to be stubborn and ignore that you are wrong.
I thought your meme was funny.
People need to chill out
