The attitude was that if their claims weren't 100% right and 100% reproducible, they're scum. You're describing every internet forum I've ever encountered.

I brought this up in r/ProjectFi (a google/android subreddit) and was wholly ridiculed and dismissed "for not knowing anything". It seems brand loyalty has become similar to American politics with little-to-no middle gr

This reminds me of the irony of people who discredit bitcoin because "it's digital fairy money" when only 8% of the world's currency is physical. The entire concept of fiat currency is abstraction. It requires layers of

Twitter reserves the right to kick out whomever it feels violates their policy. As a corporate entity, they have that right. One could have argued for that same premise for the "government" in the dark ages. At what point
