It’s ragebait, and an incredibly effective one at that
Yup. See: This thread.
If they want to hate Linux, they’re allowed to. And that may be a plural or singular they.
Probably with the help of AI agents
“Victims of linux” Was bro touched by tux when they were young or what 💀
“We aim for a cohesive none toxic community”
Ha hahaha haha ha…
Oh wait, you’re serious? Let laugh louder.
AAAAHHH HAHAHA HAHHA HA!
I mean Linux folks on Lemmy generally can be pretty toxic too. I get downvoted for saying I’d love to use Linux but my blindness prevents me from doing so. If someone said they’d love Linux if not for its users I’d probably agree.
No, you’ve been “downvoted” (actually you have been as much upvoted and ended up at a 0 points, not negative) for claiming Linux break every few days and that you must be “comfortable making your computer a hobby” to use it, which is clearly not at all representative of the general experience.
The proof is that the most upvoted answer to your comment exactly point that.
I’m worried for the state of the internet.
Not because communities like this exist, but because it seems everyone in the thread is failing to recognize obvious trolling. Have you kids never heard of flaming? This is the most egregious ragebait and y’all are taking it
I joined lemmy a couple of days ago, this whole community feels like the most autistic and socially inept part of reddit. Really weird to read the comments on lemmy.
Well 90% of the users here are autistic trans furries soooo…
Hey, I’m not trans, I’m just an ally who enjoys the egg_irl and related communities. And I’m barely even Aspergic. And only one of the four family laptops has linux on it, and it’s not even Arch, it’s Mint.
Fear not, because a single person doesn’t constitute a community. And Madthumbs gets talked about every six months or so, when a batch of new users discover them. Everyone then completely forgets about them until the next cycle.
My first thought was that this was a parody of /r/conservative
A single user making dozens of posts and rarely getting any response? I wouldn’t call that egregious, it just seems ineffective to me.
Ragebait and trolling are fine for me, but there is imo one place where this doesn’t belong: The rules section of a lemmy community
It’s either satire or else it’s Microsoft doing guerilla marketing…
Moderators run the sub, not the users. It’s not democratic, and we don’t care how you think it should be run
Yeah, that sounds like Windows… (which you’re not allowed to bash, by the way!)
you’re not allowed to bash
Only cmd.exe
🥁🛎️
Just spam them with FreeBSD stuff then.
FreeBSD and its derivatives ≠ Linux
Not to mention that more things run Linux than Windows including the router those people who hate Linux are using its running Linux.
Edit… FYI: I am a Linux user. My home server is TrueNAS (Linux based but been using it since FreeNAS 9.1), my desktop is Ubuntu Cinnamon, I use android for phones and tablets, my router is OpnSense (which is FreeBSD based but still FOSS.)
And this will be my last post on the subject. Look out for my post on c/linuxsucks.

Listen up, folks. We all know Linux sucks. It’s a fact. But I did some digging, and the conspiracy goes way deeper than just some neckbeard’s broken desktop environment.
It turns out Linux has infected literally everything. And since Linux sucks, by transitive property, the entire modern world sucks and we need to stop using all of it immediately.
If you are a true Linux hater, it is time to walk the walk. Here is the hit list of things we need to boycott starting today:
1. The Internet
Yep, turn off your router. The Internet runs on Linux. The vast majority of the world’s web servers, DNS servers, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) are powered by Linux. Every time you open a webpage, you are validating Linus Torvalds. If you’re reading this post right now, you are part of the problem. Smash your modem. It sucks.
2. Smartphones (Yes, even yours)
Are you reading this on an Android? Congratulations, you are carrying a modified Linux kernel in your pocket. It sucks. Oh, you have an iPhone? Well, the massive server farms that Apple uses to sync your iCloud data, send your iMessages, and process your Apple Pay run on—you guessed it—Linux. Throw your phone in a lake.
3. Entertainment and Streaming
Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube: Their massive backend streaming infrastructure? All Linux. Smart TVs: Most of them run on Linux-based firmware. If you want to watch a movie, go outside and act it out with puppets. Digital entertainment is ruined.
4. Space Exploration
NASA sent the Ingenuity helicopter to Mars, and it was powered by a Linux distribution. Space sucks now. SpaceX rockets? Linux. We can’t even leave the planet to get away from it.
5. High-Speed Rail and Air Travel
Commercial aviation routing systems, air traffic control data feeds, and international bullet train networks rely heavily on Linux for uptime and reliability. If you want to travel, you better buy a horse. (Just make sure the horse hasn’t been microchipped by a vet using a Linux database).
6. The Entire Global Economy
The New York Stock Exchange, the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and virtually all major banking backends run on Linux because they need “99.999% uptime.” You know what else has 99.999% uptime? Garbage. Money sucks. Go back to the barter system.
- Windows and Microsoft (The Ultimate Betrayal)
Oh, you thought you were safe because you only use Windows? Think again! This goes all the way to the top. The mechanism used to fix, patch, and secure every Windows machine on Earth—Windows Update—is powered by a Linux backend. Microsoft uses Linux servers and container networks to push out their own updates because apparently, Windows Server can’t even handle distributing its own code. So every time your PC forces a random reboot to install a security patch, a Linux server just handed Windows its lunch. Windows sucks so hard that it literally relies on Linux to fix itself, which means Windows is Linux by proxy. They both suck!
Conclusion: The Ultimate Protest
If we are going to be pure, we have to commit. I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of modern society until the entire global infrastructure is rewritten in pure, unadulterated Windows ME. This is my final post. I am smashing my PC, disconnecting my power grid (because utility companies use Linux to manage the smart grid), and moving into a cave.
Who is with me?!
Awww, I got banned.
And while I was blocking the linux sucks moderator and posters something occurred to me. Most of the Lemmy instances are probably hosted on Linux as are the cloud providers among other things.
It they think linux sucks so badly they should cut it completely out of their lives and that means they shouldn’t be using the internet.
Or MacOS.
One of the only disadvantages of lemmy is that any moron can start an instance or community lol
It’s run by a moron troll, obviously. All you need to know.
yeah this is the reason you just block bs stuff.
Oh I did. After getting banned for the offense of mocking the community
Isn’t that the idiot who managed to get banned by the automod bot?
Besides, the Unix Haters’ Handbook is always worth a read for laughs. Some stuff still hasn’t been fixed (looking at you,
rmand uselessmanpages)What a sick sad little loser.
OF COURSE he’s a MAGA incel, that makes a ton of sense
That’s…a very specific fetish
Does the owner knows his instance runs on Linux?
They are probably just bad faith actors, trying to get people away from the good stuff.
So are they like, really into Windows?
Nah they run BSD
TempleOS
theyre really into windows and mac
Buy T Freebsd or Netbsd or
It’s a sort of pendulum effect. Lemmy as a whole is very Linux-focused, almost militantly so (see my other Linux-related posts and comments). So people who feel otherwise form their own knot of extremists, alienating people who don’t feel strongly either way.
