It really brings back that classic internet feeling.
I’m genuinely laughing out loud, such a wild comment out of left field caught me totally off guard. I don’t think I’ve seen such stupid malice in actual years
Anyone who has this strong of a reaction to something so inconsequential must be a deeply unhappy person. It sucks to suck.
Also, anyone who calls someone a ‘fag’ is a complete fucking moron. I doubt things will improve for them with so few brain cells to work with.
They are a huge racist and a MAGA and trolled you
In what way did they troll me? Did somebody call them a fag or not? If so, I don’t care what their justification was, that person is an asshole.
There’s a high likelihood they sent themselves that message so they could screenshot it and go ‘Look what the Linux users do!’ It’s what OP appears to do, mostly given it’s what users like them often do.
Objection, Your Honour! This is speculation.
Well two things can be true
I would also like to have nice little messages in my inbox. I run Linux though. Debian Stable to be exact. If you run anything else you are wrong and stupid.
Check your inbox
I’m guessing it’s actually because you’re Republican
A right winger misrepresentating a situation to appear more sympathetic? Say it ain’t so.
Also really unlikely that a linux nerd would call you a “fag”
Eh, there’s plenty of community for projects like XLibre where that seems more likely, what with the “anti-woke” ideas.
They wouldn’t be angry at a right-winger though
MAGA… “Free thinkers.” Lol.
More like “free of thinking”.
Free from the restraints of logic!
Doublespeak
FTFY: “When you say you don’t like linux and Mexicans and that black ppl should go back to africa”
More likely the reason, indeed.
So cool, I love that marker you put on me. Makes it easier to round up people you don’t like ;)
Awwww, is the widdle MAGAt upset they can’t blend into the crowd and lie about why they received mean messages?
It says a lot that you were trying to keep it hidden. Why? Not proud of it?
Man, nobody can put “a target” on you for something you say on a public forum that people get mad about.
You guys want freedom of speech? Freedom of speech is also getting shit on online for something you say. You have a right to speak, not a right to be liked.
I really wish you people were as oppressed as you think you are
Lol says the ice supporting Nazi
Aww sweaty, you’re making my night :^)
I’m not getting sweaty with you, magat
Lol nice malapropism. Or is “sweaty” just a Republican term of endearment ever since the whole Trump / Epstein debacle?
Don’t worry man, I’m fine with you here. Sometimes I want to have a glimpse in to the world of republican politics to see if they make any sense whatsoever.
That’s what coworkers are for ):
Nobodys rounding you up bub, we just want you to go away
Man, I don’t like MAGA either. I think they represent pretty much everything that’s wrong with society today…
But for a community that talks so often about disliking echo chambers, it really seems like most Lemmy users want an echo chamber.
Lemmy has everything from libs to anarchists to tankies. If that’s an echo chamber I think I’ll survive without fascist voices in the mix. The North Korea apologists are bad enough.
That’s fair, I can definitely understand that position and agree with you on the NK apologists.
From my point of view, I think it’s more productive to interact with people I disagree with, in the (possibly naive) pursuit of changing their minds. If people are kicked out for their views, I’d imagine many of them will just double down and act like a martyr.
To be clear, I’m not saying we shouldn’t call these people out and downvote them – that’s why that function exists right? But maybe once in a while, something that we argue will resonate with them.
Of course there are limits to that approach, and this all hinges on the other person arguing in good faith. Based on the OP’s post history, I’ll admit that I may be barking up the wrong tree in this case.
I honestly think there’s essentially zero chance of any argument resonating with someone who identifies as MAGA at this point.
I’d say there’s more danger to letting them into spaces to push hateful shit than there is benefit in the moonshot chance that one of them might hear an argument that resonates.
See, I’m torn. On one hand, I feel like this ‘us vs. them’ mentality contributes to the sort of tribalism that ultimately results in movements like MAGA popping up. If these people can only operate in MAGA-friendly spaces, they’ll rarely speak to anyone who disagrees with them, and will have no reason to reflect on their worldview.
Then I read the news. If current events aren’t enough to convince them that they’re misguided, I’m not sure that anything will.
I’m not sure I know what the solution is, but it’s been an interesting discussion.
That’s an optimistic perspective and I feel like we need more optimism these days. And maybe sometimes people do change their minds on things with social media discussions, though I think it’s already a difficult medium to work with.
For maga shit though, those people are basically cultists, and from what I understand it’s pretty much impossible to get people out of a cult without a personal connection helping them.
Must feel great then for this to be the top level comment and everyone seeing through your bullshit :) <3. Makes it easier for people to know to avoid you, while you pretend like you’re not actively rounding up people who aren’t the same color as you <3.
Beep.
It says shitpost, but I 100000% believe this is a real thing.
" well that may be true but I have some assholes I want to outlive"
I’m currently in the process of converting over; have a dual boot and will probably leave it that way for the next year.
It is NOT, by any measure, that Linux is annoyance free and perfectly designed. It’s that Windows has been building up its annoyances in competition, so that going penguin takes a considerable measure of bloat off.
We’re at a point where some games are just performing better through Proton than running right on Windows.
I dual boot as well, and the only thing I’ve booted my windows install for was to work around a driver issue where my headset mic was no longer detected. Other than that, and troubleshooting why flat packs weren’t launching, my install of Bazzite has been rock solid.
Good plan. You’ll definitely find things you don’t like along the way and struggle. And having something to get things done in a crunch is useful. Just keep learning and in the end you’ll have all the tools you need and it’ll be great.
Now say that you don’t like Firefox
I don’t like Firefox. But I use it anyway
Don’t we all
I don’t like it either. But I use LibreWolf side by side with Vivaldi
Before i decided to ditch Chromium wholesale i originally wanted to try Vivaldi. I loved the customisation except for the strange omission of not being able to have the bookmarks bar only show on a new tab page. How is what is usually one of the only bits of customisation on a standard browser not in the browser lauded over for its customisation. Bonkers
I use GNOME Web
Tap for spoiler
No, not really
systemd-webd for me!
I use a magical orb that I gaze into.
Arch enemy.
btw
Arch lemmemy
Add a thinkpad to fulfill the cult completely. 🫳🤜
The slur there is uncalled for and absolutely not okay.
But you did talk shit about Linux so…
I mean sure, but imagine being that guy. With those brains, its hard to even cook pasta.
We should all celebrate having the good fortune of not being like that guy.
Ignore the 12 year old edgelords, just like any other forum.
Both of them are edgelords, check OP’s history
Lemmy is nearly 100% 32 year old edgelords
Hey, some of us are 35-year-old edgelords
Hey, I’m a 59 so perhaps the average means there are 12yr olds as well :)
Well that’s just straight mean to fags.
Tbh Linux got me into gay porn.
