Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers - eviltoast

    Nah, I’m not trying to give any commentary on Lemmy or Linux in this thread. I’m just talking about how poorly the analogy is lining up for the intended purpose. Honestly, Lemmy shouldn’t be pushing any one thing in general, imo.

    I do get confused about the people that show up in Linux specific communities and get mad about “all the Linux fanatics”, and maybe the original analogy would work for that.

      I guess repeating continuing to make analogies in what appears to be a serious tone seems like an odd way to make the argument that the original analogy is broken. You’re not pointing out any flaws, using the current analogy to show how it doesn’t work… just changing the setting while keeping the overall analogy completely the same.

      It’s like going to a brothel and continuing to have sex with prostitutes then saying the brothel is broken… sorry, I had to.
