Linux

When I was on reddit the ones spouting the most linux hate seemed to fall into two main categories.

1. those that tried it like 15 years ago and still hold a grudge.

2. dudes who heard people rave about linux but they themselves struggled with certain concepts when trying it out. And rather than realize they need to read instructions and learn new things, instead would rather blame linux for not working as expected.

Linux is pretty advanced today. It's not a baby anymore.

people who are new should be using immutable distros exclusively unless they're looking at this as a major project where they learn everything about it, IMHO

i've been helping people switch for a long time, all the dumbest things that have happened to people have been stopped by immutability.

Yeah, that guy's not joking.

It's not some kayfabe act. He is sincere in all of that posturing assholery.

Block and move on.

Unrelated but I got banned from the atheist memes community for calling one of the mods memes a boomer Facebook meme.

For this exact reason i feel the fediverse should operate on #hashtags and the user should subscribe to their mods who will mark content for exclusion and filtration.

Meaning that instead of a ultimatum users can participate regardless of if bad mods ruin a community as per reddit /r/linux being ruined by loco mods.

This fiefdom format where topics are arbitrated and drum headded by fief lords is archaic and antiquated.

When the wrong man uses the right means, then the right means work in the wrong way.

Its our job to create systems that prevent this as much as possible through good design.

That whole community is just one guy posting memes. Some are funny but mostly its just odd how much he hates Linux.

Whatever :)

Pretty accurate meme though.

There was a time when there was an annual "Linux Sucks" presentation that I liked because it was a roundup of candid, yet constructive criticism of Linux (and then at some point the person running that went off the deep end and started yelling about woke agendas).

I wouldn't mind there being a whole community devoted to pointing out shit that is poorly designed or just broken when running linux, and we as a community then try to fix them or find workarounds.

But as others have pointed out, that community isn't a community, it's literally just one account hanging out by themselves.

Hummm... Guess you're to sensible? I mean I'm die hard linux lover for 3 years now and will never switch back to Windows... EVER!

However, I found some of those posts quite funny !

It's not a "community", it's one person making all the posts because I guess they wanted to make hating Linux their entire personality. 🤷

You should also take into account the animosity against lemmy.ml in general from some instances and communities. Something to do with the moderation here or something else.

OP:

Apparently it was against the rules of that community and I was banned.

Sounds like they've done you a favour. Now you don't have to see their random hater circlejerk community again.

It's the same argument I've heard about the "complexity" of Mastodon: too many choices, which is I guess why people largely stopped going to websites outside the major social networks. Monopoly over competition, it's like everyone is pining for a monarchy.

I don't understand why so many people take the existence of linuxsucks communities so personally, the reddit version has more linux users defending it than actual hate, but that one was more meant as a "legitimate grievances against linux" community as opposed to what the lemmy version seems to be.

Just block and ignore like anything else. Its okay if there are people that don't like the thing you like.

My guess: the mod is sittin there posting memes on his gentoo-machine and laughing his ass of, because someone's taking his community serious.

It's like going to a vegan community saying "meat isn't so bad". You're obviously not going to get good responses.

Relevant discussion: !Linuxsucks@lemmy.world mod silently bans people from their community for disagreeing, and tries to hide the comments from being seen in the modlog.
