One of the only disadvantages of lemmy is that any moron can start an instance or community lol
Isn’t that the idiot who managed to get banned by the automod bot?
Besides, the Unix Haters’ Handbook is always worth a read for laughs. Some stuff still hasn’t been fixed (looking at you,
rmand uselessmanpages)I’m having a chuckle because I know who exactly this is offending and it’s showing in the comments.
They are probably just bad faith actors, trying to get people away from the good stuff.
Just spam them with FreeBSD stuff then.
FreeBSD and its derivatives ≠ Linux
Not to mention that more things run Linux than Windows including the router those people who hate Linux are using its running Linux.
Edit… FYI: I am a Linux user. My home server is TrueNAS (Linux based but been using it since FreeNAS 9.1), my desktop is Ubuntu Cinnamon, I use android for phones and tablets, my router is OpnSense (which is FreeBSD based but still FOSS.)
And this will be my last post on the subject. Look out for my post on c/linuxsucks.
https://lemmy.world/post/48179739
Listen up, folks. We all know Linux sucks. It’s a fact. But I did some digging, and the conspiracy goes way deeper than just some neckbeard’s broken desktop environment.
It turns out Linux has infected literally everything. And since Linux sucks, by transitive property, the entire modern world sucks and we need to stop using all of it immediately.
If you are a true Linux hater, it is time to walk the walk. Here is the hit list of things we need to boycott starting today:
1. The Internet
Yep, turn off your router. The Internet runs on Linux. The vast majority of the world’s web servers, DNS servers, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) are powered by Linux. Every time you open a webpage, you are validating Linus Torvalds. If you’re reading this post right now, you are part of the problem. Smash your modem. It sucks.
2. Smartphones (Yes, even yours)
Are you reading this on an Android? Congratulations, you are carrying a modified Linux kernel in your pocket. It sucks. Oh, you have an iPhone? Well, the massive server farms that Apple uses to sync your iCloud data, send your iMessages, and process your Apple Pay run on—you guessed it—Linux. Throw your phone in a lake.
3. Entertainment and Streaming
Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube: Their massive backend streaming infrastructure? All Linux. Smart TVs: Most of them run on Linux-based firmware. If you want to watch a movie, go outside and act it out with puppets. Digital entertainment is ruined.
4. Space Exploration
NASA sent the Ingenuity helicopter to Mars, and it was powered by a Linux distribution. Space sucks now. SpaceX rockets? Linux. We can’t even leave the planet to get away from it.
5. High-Speed Rail and Air Travel
Commercial aviation routing systems, air traffic control data feeds, and international bullet train networks rely heavily on Linux for uptime and reliability. If you want to travel, you better buy a horse. (Just make sure the horse hasn’t been microchipped by a vet using a Linux database).
6. The Entire Global Economy
The New York Stock Exchange, the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and virtually all major banking backends run on Linux because they need “99.999% uptime.” You know what else has 99.999% uptime? Garbage. Money sucks. Go back to the barter system.
- Windows and Microsoft (The Ultimate Betrayal)
Oh, you thought you were safe because you only use Windows? Think again! This goes all the way to the top. The mechanism used to fix, patch, and secure every Windows machine on Earth—Windows Update—is powered by a Linux backend. Microsoft uses Linux servers and container networks to push out their own updates because apparently, Windows Server can’t even handle distributing its own code. So every time your PC forces a random reboot to install a security patch, a Linux server just handed Windows its lunch. Windows sucks so hard that it literally relies on Linux to fix itself, which means Windows is Linux by proxy. They both suck!
Conclusion: The Ultimate Protest
If we are going to be pure, we have to commit. I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of modern society until the entire global infrastructure is rewritten in pure, unadulterated Windows ME. This is my final post. I am smashing my PC, disconnecting my power grid (because utility companies use Linux to manage the smart grid), and moving into a cave.
Who is with me?!
Awww, I got banned.
And while I was blocking the linux sucks moderator and posters something occurred to me. Most of the Lemmy instances are probably hosted on Linux as are the cloud providers among other things.
It they think linux sucks so badly they should cut it completely out of their lives and that means they shouldn’t be using the internet.
Or MacOS.
“We aim for a cohesive none toxic community”
Ha hahaha haha ha…
Oh wait, you’re serious? Let laugh louder.
AAAAHHH HAHAHA HAHHA HA!
I mean Linux folks on Lemmy generally can be pretty toxic too. I get downvoted for saying I’d love to use Linux but my blindness prevents me from doing so. If someone said they’d love Linux if not for its users I’d probably agree.
No, you’ve been “downvoted” (actually you have been as much upvoted and ended up at a 0 points, not negative) for claiming Linux break every few days and that you must be “comfortable making your computer a hobby” to use it, which is clearly not at all representative of the general experience.
The proof is that the most upvoted answer to your comment exactly point that.
“Victims of linux” Was bro touched by tux when they were young or what 💀
That’s…a very specific fetish
It’s ragebait, and an incredibly effective one at that
Probably with the help of AI agents
Yup. See: This thread.
If they want to hate Linux, they’re allowed to. And that may be a plural or singular they.
It’s either satire or else it’s Microsoft doing guerilla marketing…
Moderators run the sub, not the users. It’s not democratic, and we don’t care how you think it should be run
Yeah, that sounds like Windows… (which you’re not allowed to bash, by the way!)

Only hate speech allowed

Ban for every other opinion

“Non-toxic community”
Ok, just checked it out, I guess the guy couldn’t afford therapy and created that instead. He’s life seems really sad.
“Misery loves company”
When you see stuff like this, people just randomly hating on something that just seems so out there it’s usually because they’re insanely depressed and/or their life is in shambles. So the guy is in a miserable state and lashes out in hopes he can somehow make others lives equally as miserable so then he finally, in a way, won’t feel “alone”.
In this case, the company that the misery seems to love would be the Microsoft.
So… like people who think they are saving humanity by blindly hating on neural network technology
Lol yes that didn’t make any sense. They should remove #3 to at least keep it coherent
I mean, it’s no different than AI Sucks, FuckCars, and a ton of other communities here (and I say this as a 3-year exclusive Linux user).
Edit: lol at how many people are having to justify it to themselves that their pet communities centered entirely around hating something are totally different bro from the community centered entirely around hating something they happen to like.
If there’s one thing that unites all of Lemmy, from the tankies to the libs to the anarchists, it’s a complete absence of self-awareness.
Not really. People have reasons for hating AI and cars, and for going against the grain by doing so.
Linux is just… Linux… anyone who doesn’t like it doesn’t have to use it. It’s just there, waiting to provide an alternative option to anyone who wants to break away from the proprietary mainstream…
Like the other comment implies, we don’t get to choose to not live in a car-centric world, or one where AI companies aren’t fucking everything up. For that matter, we also don’t get to live in a world where Linux is prioritized over a corporate OS in the wider world. A FuckAI, FuckCars, or even FuckWindows community makes sense, in that we need to fight to change the status-quo to improve the world.
FuckLinux is fighting for the status quo. It is actively pushing the repressive option. That’s how it’s different. It is not trying to change things; it’s trying to prevent things from changing.
(Also, Lemmy is FOSS. If you’re advocating against FOSS then you should leave. How does someone like that even end up here?)

It’s a sort of pendulum effect. Lemmy as a whole is very Linux-focused, almost militantly so (see my other Linux-related posts and comments). So people who feel otherwise form their own knot of extremists, alienating people who don’t feel strongly either way.
I’m worried for the state of the internet.
Not because communities like this exist, but because it seems everyone in the thread is failing to recognize obvious trolling. Have you kids never heard of flaming? This is the most egregious ragebait and y’all are taking it
Fear not, because a single person doesn’t constitute a community. And Madthumbs gets talked about every six months or so, when a batch of new users discover them. Everyone then completely forgets about them until the next cycle.
I joined lemmy a couple of days ago, this whole community feels like the most autistic and socially inept part of reddit. Really weird to read the comments on lemmy.
Well 90% of the users here are autistic trans furries soooo…
Hey, I’m not trans, I’m just an ally who enjoys the egg_irl and related communities. And I’m barely even Aspergic. And only one of the four family laptops has linux on it, and it’s not even Arch, it’s Mint.
My first thought was that this was a parody of /r/conservative
A single user making dozens of posts and rarely getting any response? I wouldn’t call that egregious, it just seems ineffective to me.
Ragebait and trolling are fine for me, but there is imo one place where this doesn’t belong: The rules section of a lemmy community
It’s run by a person who has a hate boner for Linux and can’t handle that they are forced to use it in their every day life and likes to lash out at people.
never ask madthumbs and ustheimheim what os their favorite website runs on
Or their phone.
Damn I wish I was forced to use linux in my every day life. All companies here seem to require windows for some reason.
Get a sysad job. There are Windows servers out there, but any competent organization will have their servers on linux.
I really think theyre fascists
“this is not a democracy” and banning talk of privacy alternatives?
I think their take is crazy, but calling them facists does a disservice to the word.
To be fair, I’ve seen their arguments outside of the Linux space, and they’re very anti union, pro billionaires, and defend trump.
It is all circumstantial evidence, and they may be just trolling, but it’s not a good look.
No, this part is fine. They made a space to talk about their obsession and have no obligation to let strangers come and tell them how to.
Sadly there’s also many notable examples of “this is not a democracy” on the left side in here.
Calling tankies “the left” is weird. They’re just red fascists.
It’s not exclusive to the tankies. Most communities here work that way.
Yeah, but the Lemmy anarchists embrace and boost them.
They claim so at least.
It’s run by a moron troll, obviously. All you need to know.
yeah this is the reason you just block bs stuff.
Oh I did. After getting banned for the offense of mocking the community
