    Yep!

    Also lemmy is full of open-source Linux nerds who will upvote anything that bashes on Microsoft (oh excuse me Micro$oft for the old heads).

      I see more comments like this than comments of these boogeyman you guys speak of. You guys are doing your own little circlejerk, thinking you’re cool and smart.

        …what? The fact that this post is at the top of my feed is proof enough. They’re absolutely right, it’s purely speculation with very little evidence that has been upvoted to shit.

        Also, “Lemmy is full of open-source Linux nerds” is NOT a controversial statement. I am an open-source Linux nerd. YOU are an open-source Linux nerd, looking at your comments. This place is absolutely riddled with nerds, look around my dude.

      Of course it is. Open source nerds created lemmy and operate the instances. They are the primary audience that would care to abandon reddit over the API change and now the privacy policy change.

      This is like going to a gun club and campaigning for better gun control. You might find a couple supporters but for the most part you’ll just be pissing everyone off.
