Why not be the change you wish to see, then? Fork it, and surely they will come.

That or Linus’ work is of high enough quality that people are willing to put up with his crass behavior.

Also, somewhat unrelated, but comparing Linus to Elon is a nonstarter. Elon has money, but contributes little more than ego past that. Linus, on the other hand, actually gets his hands dirty. I don’t care for his behavior, but I do respect someone who actually does the work.

You’re right he can be a bit crass without needing to be. The outcome of his methods is exemplary, though.

LMAO What a take! Thanks for the laugh.

The last several lines are so insanely unhinged, completely untethered from reality lol.

Also, when this guy learns about X11 vs Wayland he’s doing to die of an aneurysm.

By your guidance I just took action, we’ll see what comes of it.

If you think using big words and calling people childish names is making a coherent argument then there’s really nothing to be done here…

I didn’t say I didn’t want to contribute willingly, I said I didn’t want to spend my time engaging trolls and unsavory individuals. I’d rather they fade into obscurity and get on about my day.

Go ahead and reread it if you need proof, it’s all up there.

Bruh I’m just trying to scroll through interesting posts and interact with people worth having a discussion with. If you get off putting people in their place all day then feel free to sort by lowest score or whatever mechanism eventually appears.

If you want to change someone’s mind you aren’t going to do it by putting them on the spot and belittling them for it. That just backs a person into the corner and makes them double down. The whole “I’d rather be Russian than Democrat” is perfect example of this.

If you want to make them change their ways then just ignore their desperate pleas for attention. Kids don’t earn the right to sit at the grown up table by acting like kids, but eventually they mature and learn nuance and that earns them a seat.

It’s because here downvotes don’t push you to the bottom of the stack, and that needs to change. At least on Reddit you could bury the trolls.

Looks like you are @ing someone I can’t see.

Well, that’s the first major point against this fediverse business… Who’s going to stick around to have a conversation when everyone’s only getting bits of it? That’s kinda antithetical to discussion…

I feel like you’re reading a completely different conversation…

Spin up 50 bots.
Sign them all up for lemmy.
Let accounts interact/age.
Sell accounts to companies who want to advertise as one of the cool kids.

Happened on reddit nonstop.
