so reddity
It's just one guy who gets off on being contrarian and takes getting downvoted to oblivion every time as confirmation that he is fighting some kind of evil conspiracy.

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

Wait, is this a joke community?
unfortunately not
Yes, and the joke is on the people taking it seriously, like every other form of "look how intensely dumb I am" trolling
Even if it is not, it looks like an excellent source of Linux memes.

Could have been a fun community to meme and shit on linux elitists but the creator is either seriously angry about it or rage baiting.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
I think you are forgetting about Systemd/Linux
... intentionally
Mental illness of some sort.
Not the first troll community here, won't be the last. There are a few really popular ones that are far worse though - this one just sounds unhinged.
Sounds like its been taken over but some MAGA idiot.
