Saw a post without noticing the community and commented a genuine comment with good intentions.
Apparently it was against the rules of that community and I was banned.

My (removed) comment:
And yeah, the last comment was sarcasm.
I just don’t really understand why is there a community for shitting on Linux? Like I can get not liking it, and hating the Linux die hard fans, but it really is an amazing thing that is integral to almost all modern computing… Kind of like hating social media by having a facebook page for it.
That whole community is just one guy posting memes. Some are funny but mostly its just odd how much he hates Linux.
Whatever :)
It’s not satire?

Not content with unasked for evangelizing in Windows communities and posts, this Stallman’s Witness tries their hand in an even less welcome locale.
Injured by the failure of their attempt, they seek sympathy back in friendlier climes.

That is indeed Don Quixote and I believe you’ll find that he is tilting at that windmill
It’s clearly a giant.

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

Oh, maybe. Is that how it works?
I wish I could just mute it for them. -Apparently not an option.
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.
I didn’t take it personally, just confused and amused at the situation
install windows then
Is this a good guide?
Damn, the down votes. People really don’t get sarcasm on the internet eh?
No u
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.
Seems like a year ago he was actually using Linux himself. Wondering what happened that made him feel so butthurt.
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.
Wow 😲
Yeah. I found that post after I, too, was banned.
It’s like going to a vegan community saying “meat isn’t so bad”. You’re obviously not going to get good responses.
We all thought the community was satire or at least self deprecative humor.
Unrelated but I got banned from the atheist memes community for calling one of the mods memes a boomer Facebook meme.
As an atheist, I cringe at nearly every post I see from that community. Makes me want to punch teenage neckbeard me in the face
Same. I imagine it’s how most Christians feel about their loudest supporters as well
It turns out, mods are gods.
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.
Pretty accurate meme though.
Yup XD
Yeah… I am in my Arch comfort zone, till I was forced to move on as the newest kernels of Arch triggered kernel Panics at my Starlite V device. Even the LTS version (and for some weird reason the rt kernel was the only one working without panics).
So someone said “Use NixOS, its great”… it felt cool at beginning, but sucked very soon as everything should be written into stone if you want changes on your system, and then reboot, because the switch command didn’t really trigger enough changes. Netbeans was without Maven till I rebooted. I thought I sucked at adding it properly. Frustrating it was.
Then I tried MX Linux, just to realize that Debian has Ancient packages with many many bugs, like Okular having a broken Pinch-Zoom which is fixed after 23.31 or smth. Debian had version 22 of Okular. And I disliked that MX Linux used Plasma 5…
Another one recommends Void Linux, Gentoo, KDE Neon, OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Holy fuck pls filter it by Systemd only Operating Systems. (But still cool having lots od Linux users in my university group)
I finally decided to Install Kubuntu and actually… it feels like it will last forever (till a new Ubuntu Update comes in and destroys itself by its own Updating system. It never worked for me)
Gentoo has systemd instructions right alongside openrc through the whole installation handbook. Pretty sure opensuse is systemd also.
Linuxsocks
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 !
Some of them are funny indeed
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.
Users say they want options until they receive way too many options
When I was on reddit the ones spouting the most linux hate seemed to fall into two main categories.
-
those that tried it like 15 years ago and still hold a grudge.
-
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.
-
Nope, I just checked. Apparently, you can’t say anything good about Linux. Seems like a useless waste of time but, whatever. If I got banned from that site I would consider it a blessing.
