Because Microsoft cares so much about an 18.6K-member community called “linuxmemes” on a small federated Reddit alternative known for being filled with die-hard Linux fans and furries?
The company a corporation would hire to do that sort of thing would use a shotgun approach to the redirection postings. With bots it would be easy for them to do.
Ah, how could I have forgotten the legion of MSFT contract employees scouring… fucking… furaffinity for that sweet, delectable anti-Linux propaganda lmao
Because having bots backed by AI and a preset list of sites/forums to post to would be way too much of an effort and impossible to automate/do, right? /s
(And for the record, mentioning 'bots' for the second time now.)
Sure, because Linux is such a threat to Microsoft
A smart CEO doesn't look at just today, but looks at tomorrow as well.
'Kill the baby in the crib' is a valid option to a CEO.
There's ~~vermin~~ furries here?
Gross.
Careful of the venn diagram — if you're talking to a member of a Linux community on Lemmy, chances are they aren't anti-furry.
I will die on this hill. Their down votes mean nothing to me. I've seen what makes them cheer.
