You wouldn’t convince people to try a hobby you like by sending the weirdo that insults anyone that doesn’t like that hobby to talk to them… Well the weirdos have a platform now and they’re loud as fuck and they’re part of the group that’s in majority so they get tolerated!
Heck, I was just arguing with one that called those who use closed source software “closed source cucks”…
I never thought I’d be in an environment where FOSS user is the majority demographic.
I feel like I’m hanging out in a crypto community where Bitcoin maximalists are the majority… I hate it.
thats a perfect description. even the linux subreddit wasn’t this rabid about Foss
And now they’re stuck on the ever-worsening platform while it gets better every day here

Use Linux too but know exactly what you mean. This kind of people are fucking annoying and drive other people away
I remember being like that as a teen. Unfortunately, Linux has had an air of elitism around it for a long time, possibly since its inception.
That’s a badge of honor, I bet you did something right.
Yes, arguing too successfully against them 🙃
