Linux/FOSS Bros are ruining it for me more and more every day.
Not even with my comments, but others. I’m so sick of seeing basic comments extremely downvoted because “ThaTs NoT OpeN sOurCe”.
Like a post a was reading a few minutes ago about Microsoft Paint being updated, and someone said it was Windows 11 exclusive, and the other guy said Windows 11 isn’t half bad. The comment is super downvoted, because Linux best, Windoze BAD!
You’re going to drive away people who just want to have a conversation if you guys don’t learn how to be normal, holy shit. I’m a tech bro and you’re driving ME away.
I think it’s inevitable that lemmy attracts these kinda people. At least for me, I got out of Reddit not just because of the API decisions, but because I just don’t like the idea of having 0 control over my services. The API thing was just a wakeup call.
I’d say that I’m “part of the problem” in terms of shilling for FOSS software, but I was the same back on Reddit. So it’s gonna be my type of people that come in here.
I think many people don’t understand this is the entire point of being on Lemmy. They just want Reddit without ads, but without FOSS we would sooner or later become Reddit. So of course we are going to care about FOSS.
It’s the same with people who use Linux but say they don’t care about FOSS. Linux is Linux because it’s FOSS. Otherwise it would just be Chrome OS or Android.
That last sentence is so true. I love FOSS and tech, but there are cases where proprietary software is better, and that’s okay. Let’s be objective, not an echo chamber.
There is way too many of you assholes bringing up stuff that’s totally irrellevant to most people. You found one thing that is important for you and don’t accept that other people don’t give a shit
You found one thing that is important for you and don’t accept that other people don’t give a shit
Some of them became the very things they dislike: the sports fan that never shuts up about their sport, the religious person proselytizing, the obnoxious ads…Just for that one thing, like you say.

Either that or tankies

It’s always awesome when an example presents itself in the comments below.

I agree with only two of those 3. Pull out your knife, we fight!
