I fully agree with you, but find this a losing battle. <S>

 
 
It doesn't matter.  I've found many other groups where there are more
people who are:
 
-polite
-humble and/or genuinely subject matter experts (and not snide about it)
-can talk about a shortcoming of iPhones v. Android w/o making it a
black and white battle for the souls of the human race
-broader range of valuable inputs and insights
-no trolls (not very long anyway)
-no moderation delay - but a-holes get ejected within hours if not minutes
 
So I tell myself at least once per week not to bother coming here ...
and one day (probably soon) I will heed my own advice.  And by "here" I
mean usenet (I use about 6 NG's).
 
A surprising "venue" that I'd never used is Telegram.  A local group of
tech enthusiasts use it and I've joined in for a narrow participation
around a particular system.  (Très nerd).
I find the Telegram format to be very pleasant.  Seems to be moderated
but I don't see moderation occurring.
 
Reddit is a vast area and it's hard to find "the right place" (I don't
spend enough time on it, so hard to find "the right place").

Once you use it a bit more regularly it's not that hard; r/ios and r/iphone
are decent. Trolls like arlen just can't survive there. The problem with
technical subs is that they are full of newbies asking non-technical
questions.

There's a niche usenet could fill if it wasn't for all the trolls and
bickering.
