Linuxsucks isn’t a community. It’s one guy on a mountain of shit.
Honestly, he doesn’t deserve the attention he’s getting right now.
I will never understand people who want to give up fruits and vegetables. Not only are they beautiful but they are really fun and relaxing to grow. There is something about growing and harvesting your own vegetables that can’t be wrong lol
Fruit is amazing! Makes some of the very best desserts!
This one made me giggle. The linuxsucks dude is a trip. I would love to see a psychological workup on a person that creates a 1-person community on an ultra-niche platform and protects against other people joining to the death.
glances nervously at [email protected]
Reminds me of r/Amish
I’ve messaged him, he’s alright. Not exactly a terrible dude. Just quirky.
I definitely wouldn’t have thought to label him terrible. Just emotionally delicate enough to not be able to handle dissenting opinions and harboring a sense of powerlessness that has made him want to create an environment where he gets to control the people that try to participate.
I can relate. I might start a “somethingsucks” community and may the Gods help anyone that tries to usurp me.
Yea. I got banned for asking if his sub was satire. Apparently it is not lol
I know it shouldn’t but your experience made me laugh. Not satire, indeed :)
Well, if it makes you feel any better, I banned that sub from my feed. So I guess we’re even if you join my club. We don’t have meetings, and there’s nothing you need to do. In fact, I would prefer it if you don’t do anything or ever bring the club up again. But you’re welcome to join!
Lol shooketh. I wanted in on the satire so bad I was blinded and didn’t see the clear anger this man had for being free.
This is most likely his villain origin story: He tried linux making him a hacker in his mind, broke it and couldn’t fix it, the Arch forum told him to RTFM and pointed him to the wik so he reinstalled Windows and has made the entire linux community his
archnemesis.Admitting some people aren’t savvy enough to run linux is his kryptonite.
Should’ve RTFM… Or tried something like Ubuntu. Lol
Nice lore
A narcissistic autistic man-child?
No need to throw autistic people under the bus.
Or narcissists, really.
Why, it’s not like they’ll care…
Communities made around hating a specific thing are always awful.
Except FuckCars because that’s really just pro-urbanism.
Except FuckCars
Unfortunately, the community is still populated and run by some Grade A types.
Like, the sentiment is good, but you still end up with people who have no communication skills piling in.
Me: cars are pretty mandatory in cities like L.A. and rural areas
FuckCars: you’re literally worse than Hitler
Hey, I’m trying my best!
fuckCars has become weird enough that fuckcarscirclejerk is now a top-tier subreddit
Oh, I just mean the lemmy community, I don’t use Reddit.
Has it? Back when I was on Reddit (before the API debacle) it was one of my absolute favourites.
They could change the name to LessCars, would seem less agressive
But they’re incredibly aggressive, so the current name fits them better
They have no interest in appearing less aggressive. Getting to be aggressive is like the highlight of their day.
Hopefully a less agressive community can emerge. There is actually [email protected]
The name isn’t “no cars” or “never cars”. There are some rare use cases for personal automobiles. But the ways cars operate in our society today? Fuck 'em.
Right up the tailpipe!
US society (IIRC you’re a US citizen) definitely is car centric. The issue people have with FuckCars is how it puts the responsibility of the situation to the cars (and their owners) rather than the policies leading to that situation.
[email protected] could maybe a less “fuck them” alternative
But [email protected] isn’t just about public transport. It’s also about cycling. And walking. And building cities such that walking or cycling are actually viable, not just because there are good bike paths/footpaths, but also because paths are well-shaded, roads are narrow and easy to cross, and the distances you have to travel are lower because density is higher and localities are mixed-use with local businesses. It’s about all the ways that motonormativity is shit.
🥰
Hence !FewerCars
Fewer Cars? 🤔
No. Every car should be reduced by 10% annually.
I misread that as “anally”, but that would do too.
Xeno’s automobile!
Well spotted, as you know English isn’t my first language 😅
Oh indeed, it’s a classic pedant’s gotcha that I didn’t think you’d mind.
Definitely not!
Hey now, linuxsucks doesn’t do that anymore!
…because every post is locked, nobody can comment.

That community is on .world, which on Lemmy v0.19.3. Moderators there cannot yet see who voted.
Saw someone with their own instance say on another post (not on their instance) that they could tell that said post had 5 downvotes by users they had tagged.
Not sure that it’s true, but I do find it a bit unnerving. I was on (the now defunct) Kbin and the downvotes were public, which didn’t bother me as much because it was at least transparent/equal (though I also had someone pester me over a few votes spanning weeks on their just-them-posting-a-popular-comic place, said it was an error with their averages and then they still silently banned/blocked me after).
First point is correct.
Actually, you can still use Mbin today to see upvotes on Lemmy communities
Well the information is out there in the wild for anybody with the know-how to access. Either via running their own instance on the side (doesn’t need any comms on it), or just via Mbin etc.
Moderators can’t on 0.19.8 either
It was added in 0.19.4
I know, but it still not being on the Lemmy Web UI makes it basically unusable for the vast majority of mods.
And I know about Tesseract, I was the one suggesting the change: https://feddit.org/post/6649095/4045658
How do you actually do that? I had a look in a community I mod, and I couldn’t find any way to actually do it in either Jerboa or lemmy-ui (web).
Not all frontends support it yet. I know Tesseract does.
But you’d assume that the two managed by the official Lemmy developers, including the default one for web included with basically every Lemmy instance, would have the feature.
Not to mention, the dev in that GitHub specifically said:
I just added this to jerboa also.
So in theory it should be there. I just can’t find it. Unless it got pulled out at some point more recently…
And it looks the change was merged into main, so yes, I think it should be supported by the app: https://github.com/LemmyNet/jerboa/pull/1331
I am not a mod, so I can’t check, but it sounds like on a post/comment, you tap three-dots > Moderation > View votes
Linuxsucks is a wild place
Seems like the mod now wants to move back to Reddit
They will have more success there as people are more tolerant of windows.
I’m pro Linux but I laughed at the memes
There were jokes? I looked at many posts there and just saw impotent rage
Literally the only post I’ve seen from c/carnivore was for an omnivorous recipe
I blocked carnivore immediately as it was an obvious teenage attempt at trolling. Granted its creation seemed to be a response to the false flag vegan communities.
false flag vegan communities
I’ve got some bad news for you.
You mean the vegan communities aren’t acting in good faith when they call everybody “carnists” and “bloodmouths”???
Slowly becoming an echo chamber of toxic one-ups-manship has never resulted in anything bad happening to a board moderator or its members.
Just ask Richard “Lowtax” Kyanka
