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.

    “everybody ought to care about Linux” - you, a few minutes ago. I’m taking your statement to the extreme to show how ridiculous it is

    No, you’re just self-reporting how ridiculous your logical fallacy is.

    Nobody but you is saying that folks can’t care about their rights and the Palestinian children at the same time.

      Can you try to actually read properly what I wrote?! I’m not saying that you, a Linux maximalist, can’t care about both issues in the middle East and your open source operating system. I’m saying that there are plenty of people who have bigger issues (such as the being bombed) to have space to care about Linux

      Your statements that everyone must care about Linux otherwise they don’t care about property rights etc is completely misguided

        I already did the first time. Your argument is still a bullshit fallacy, especially since we’re talking about the context of somebody complaining about content on Lemmy, not Palestinian children. Hell, even if OP is a Palestinian child, if he had the mental space to post this then he clearly has some to spare, don’t you think?!
