Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Trolling, duh. I suppose there's a remote chance that someone just happened to turn... kinda strawman Linux evangelist-y about being anti linux, but I wouldn't put a ton of money on that.
And of course it's reddit-y, this whole place is bootleg reddit except a tad angrier somehow.
The head mod is a Trump supporter, of course they would be against anything that isn't straight up capitalist
That's so weird to me, what's the intersection of "techliterate enough to use the fedi" and "politically illiterate enough to support Trump"?
You really don't have to be tech literate to use the fediverse imo. To fully interact with it, maybe, but a former Reddit user can figure out the basics in an hour or two
Oh, that just means it's definitely trolling, apparently definitely working rather well, too. That's just too ham fisted tbh.
Someone wiþ a less obviously pro-Linux history þan myself should post about how great Windows is because it's an OS created by a liberal, and how money spent on Windows goes to support vaccination efforts around þe world, how MSN has a great left bias, and how Microsoft has a history of supporting Progressive causes. All of which is true, and I wonder how þe mod would react.
