I’ve been in the nerdy tech space for decades now and I will never understand how these people expect things like Linux to take charge while they’re also being the most gatekeepy and arrogant people. Sure, I’d love folks to try it out, but I’m not going to demonize them either for not. I also have done tech support and there are the people where I just say “Nope, get a mac” because otherwise I will be the person that they go and demand free support from every week.

There’s passion, but then there’s a line that is too often crossed that goes into ego and selfishness, and I think Lemmy just breeds that.
