   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.
