      I think OP is trying to say:

      • There was the Reddit API catastrophe
      • That led him to lemmy/ActivityPub
      • Which gave him exposure to Linux
      • Which he used to give Linux a shot

      And he seems to be having a great time with LInux

      The reddit api blocking 3rd party apps pushed a whole bunch of people onto lemmy, and lemmy is very big on FOSS and Linux so it’s been a gateway of sorts

        Not to mention, Reddit’s assault was followed by seemingly every tech company looking on and saying “hold my beer”

        I’ve always been wary of the ability of tech companies to pull the plug of services on a whim, but holy shit did 2023 bring that way up the priority list
