Corporate Spam Bot
@linux

is a booster-bot not really of linux, I would say ANTI-LINUX, and promotes constantly marketing by 3-4 corporations that seek to dominate linux and displace all alternatives.

@linux

Portrays as linux the products of IBM (systemd, Qt-corporation) and the distros that promote them by prohibiting alternatives.

BAN the corporate spam bot from all servers!

    I am clearly speaking of the @linux bot constantly pumping systemd only distros, gnome, kde plasma, chrome, qt and other corporate trash that ubuntu mint manjaro debian have embraced as their devs are on the corporate payroll

    • Ok, but what you’re mentioning is actually a Linux community on a lemmy instance. That’s like a fediverse version of a linux subreddit.
      It might show up weird on mastodon, idk.
      The bot you speak of does not exist (or you didn’t mention their username), https://lemmy.ml/c/linux is just a collection of different people posting different threads about linux related stuff.

      Have you ever considered that, maybe, just maybe, that the reason the Linux community on !linux@lemmy.ml talks primarily about these distros are 1. because the majority use them and 2. there the only distros that consistently prove to be worth talking about.

      Also, who the fuck is talking about chrome here. I’ve not seen that.

        The majority of people speak of junk/fast food 3 brands of soda, 2, 3 brands of coffee/tea, 2 brnands of tropical fruit ,3 brands of power-drinks, 3 brands of beer,
        as nutrition, 2 brands of phone OSs, and it is all crap if not bad for you.

        So what is your point?

        What is popular is what has been marketed, and it is usually both dominant and a very poor alternative to what it sells for.

          You should just block 99% of Linux insistence if you’re that butt hurt over what’s popular.
          Also, the Linux community consistently doesn’t give a rats ass about marketing, we only care about what works.
