I feel like 75% of Mastodon are people talking about Linux. If you don’t care about Linux you feel alienated. I enjoy Mastodon and Lemmy, but the lack of more diverse subjects gets to me if I browse for too long.

Update: I took your advice and purchased a laptop for Linux, and now I care about it! Problem solved.

        You: “if you care about real issues, that means you have to use or want to use this niche and still pretty annoying to use operating system!”

        Every single sane adult in earshot: “youre a fucking moron”

        Linux is not the beacon of social justice youre pretending it is bud, and youre a walking example of the linux chud the internet at large mocks.

        Maybe there are rights more immediately important to people than the vague, long term rights associated with an open source operating system for their computer?

          Maybe those people aren’t bitching about content on Lemmy, and my response isn’t for them.

            Mate, you’re the one who said “everybody”. I’m glad to see I have convinced you to step off of that soapbox and see reality a bit more
