Man, this is the kind of “Linux” meme I wanted to get away from when moving away from Reddit.

Can we please instead make memes that don’t just boil down to “Windows bad”?

Lemmy isn’t reddit, but whatever it is, they’re both the internet.

Yeah, but the linuxmemes community on Reddit is horrible in this regard.

Linux users are pretty insufferable online.

Actually, you’re right. Scratch Reddit. Every single Linux meme community I’ve seen on the internet so far eventually boils down to repetitive “Windows bad” memes.

I was joking, but you are of course right.

It’s one of the reasons why people like me are put off using linux, especially when you have to ask those same smug linux users for advice when your first install hits a snag or you have an issue installing drivers.

It’s very human behaviour, it’s nice to feel special because you’re part of an in-group which you deem superior, but yeah.

And here now I was hoping to avoid comments that smugly borrow verbiage from the OP as though that automatically makes it a sarcastic grand slam 😊😊😊

Windows bad is 90% of linux memes.

The other 10% is shitting on gnome or something.

Why sub to a meme community if you don’t want memes…there are a bunch of great serious Linux communities on Lemmy too.

I’m on kbin’s all page and getting 3 linuxmeme posts. I’d have to actually block the community to see less of it.

I’m not doing that because it doesn’t actually bother me that much, just pointing out being subbed isn’t remotely a requirement.

I’m not saying I don’t want memes at all. I just don’t like memes that can be summarized with “Linux good, Windows bad”, because they’re repetitive and beating a dead horse.

Give us more of this or this instead.

I want others to post what I want and I am going to complain if they don’t. Everybody get out there and get me the content I want to see!

I don’t how correct am I, but I’ve noticed that a lot of meme communities on Lemmy have very radical heavily opinionated users.

The other day I commented on a meme saying that schools should include education related to real life formal work. For some reason I got downvoted for saying that. A lot of the comments were antigovernment and things like government wants to keep tax system complex so they can take advantage of people through fines.

That is just disappointing to be honest that they removed about not learning irl formal work, but don’t want schools to teach them at the same time. I just don’t understand.

I think it’s more that there needs to be more people posting. Of course 1 person is going to seem radicalized when they’re the only one posting topics they care about.

Like all 3 of the linuxmeme posts that just popped up - they’re all from the same user, so of course they’re all memes that interest that user.
