FOSS is lemmys greatest strength and its biggest flaw. Too much foss nerdery on lemmy and it's boring the average folk.
I wouldn't say boring, I'd say frustrating. You cannot use Lemmy for any kind of tech support if you're not using Linux or FOSS software.
If you make a post asking for help with a software you need, someone will ignore you and tell you to use some garbage ass incomparable FOSS version. Use anything not Linux? Use Linux, idiot.
You pay for YouTube premium because it's $5 per month using the family plan, and you're okay with paying a few bucks for entertainment? Go die from cancer. Actually, though, someone called me a racist and a Holocaust denier for saying I pay for YouTube premium since I split it between my family, and it's pretty damn cheap. Their comments were heavily upvoted and mine were downvoted.
Lemmy genuinely isn't fun anymore. It's so incredibly toxic.
Oh ya, don't forget the fuck cars community telling me it's my fault my city doesn't have great public transit? Like bro, I moved here a year ago. This city was built hundreds of years ago. How the fuck is that my fault?
You were probably initially downvoted for generalizing and the fact that Google is already doing fine for servers and barely pays creators.
And that's a great reason to call me a racist Holocaust denier! And it's great to see their comments get a ton of upvotes, too!
Yeah, no argument that the other commenter went completely off the rails.
