Kinda tired of hearing about Linux tbh
There is a lot of it, probably because the people tempted to join Lemmy/the fediverse are more technologically literate. I'm more tired of the constant "I like Lemmy" and "Reddit bad" stuff. I've seen basically this exact thread probably a dozen times already.
Technically literate and anti-authority. Good mix for being pro Linux.
Only a dozen?
I like the idea of Linux, but am not computer literate enough to mess with operating systems. I finally blocked LinuxMemes and that was like 90% of the Linux material in my feed.
I don't mind hearing about Linux - I use it daily - but the constant low tier memes make me want to block those communities.
Early users were all some flavor of principled self-organizing curmudgeon. Anyone here before reddit's implosion was almost certainly queer, leftist, and/or deeply opinionated about software freedom. That will eventually become background radiation, like atheism on reddit.
Join other different community and stay in your local feed!
You're on a FOSS platform, wtf do you expect.
