Are you trolling?

I mean I guess Lemmy is deeply rooted in the open source community so I believe that people here tend to have more interest in the steam deck because it’s an open system running on linux so there is a huge overlap in the communities.

Also why do you believe that reddit is anti nintendo? The nintendo switch sub alone has almost 5 Millions subscribers and is in the top100 sub reddits.

A lot of Linux enthusiasts are on this site, and the Steam Deck runs Linux.

If you are looking for Nintendo specific communities, you have

!nintendo@lemmy.world and !nintendo@lemmy.ml

It doesn’t mean at all that the community is broken. Are you looking for a Nintendo Echo-chamber for real? Every social media will contain one, and every social media will also have a group criticizing it. This is true with everything, not only Nintendo.

Why are you getting mad over this anyway, that is just the nature of social media?

I love Nintendo and have a Switch I still use, but there’s clearly a lot more to discuss about the Steam Deck right now than there is that console. The hardware is much newer, and there are far, far more questions people are asking about it as it’s a much more open device. Nobody’s asking how to set up multiple stores on the Switch, for instance, and for obvious reasons.

This is such a weird opinion as a switch owner. Communities are anti-nintendo because they talk about the steam deck more than the switch? Come on. I remember when all the cod kiddies hated on nintendo because you couldnt shout racial slurs at your opponent and you’re mad that there’s not enough talk about a console that’s been around for 6 years at this point? Communities might not be for you

This is completely wrong.

You think allowing users to express their opinions is wrong contrary to gathering people of one opinion only?

I don’t think there is a further point to be made in here.
