Saw a post without noticing the community and commented a genuine comment with good intentions.
Apparently it was against the rules of that community and I was banned.

And yeah, the last comment was sarcasm.
I just don’t really understand why is there a community for shitting on Linux? Like I can get not liking it, and hating the Linux die hard fans, but it really is an amazing thing that is integral to almost all modern computing… Kind of like hating social media by having a facebook page for it.
Apparently it was against the rules of that community and I was banned.
Sounds like they’ve done you a favour. Now you don’t have to see their random hater circlejerk community again.

Oh, maybe. Is that how it works?
I wish I could just mute it for them. -Apparently not an option.
That whole community is just one guy posting memes. Some are funny but mostly its just odd how much he hates Linux.
Whatever :)
Hummm… Guess you’re to sensible? I mean I’m die hard linux lover for 3 years now and will never switch back to Windows… EVER!
However, I found some of those posts quite funny !
Some of them are funny indeed
Unrelated but I got banned from the atheist memes community for calling one of the mods memes a boomer Facebook meme.
As an atheist, I cringe at nearly every post I see from that community. Makes me want to punch teenage neckbeard me in the face
Same. I imagine it’s how most Christians feel about their loudest supporters as well
It turns out, mods are gods.
It’s like going to a vegan community saying “meat isn’t so bad”. You’re obviously not going to get good responses.
Relevant discussion: !Linuxsucks@lemmy.world mod silently bans people from their community for disagreeing, and tries to hide the comments from being seen in the modlog.
Wow 😲
Yeah. I found that post after I, too, was banned.
Pretty accurate meme though.
Yeah… I am in my Arch comfort zone, till I was forced to move on as the newest kernels of Arch triggered kernel Panics at my Starlite V device. Even the LTS version (and for some weird reason the rt kernel was the only one working without panics).
So someone said “Use NixOS, its great”… it felt cool at beginning, but sucked very soon as everything should be written into stone if you want changes on your system, and then reboot, because the switch command didn’t really trigger enough changes. Netbeans was without Maven till I rebooted. I thought I sucked at adding it properly. Frustrating it was.
Then I tried MX Linux, just to realize that Debian has Ancient packages with many many bugs, like Okular having a broken Pinch-Zoom which is fixed after 23.31 or smth. Debian had version 22 of Okular. And I disliked that MX Linux used Plasma 5…
Another one recommends Void Linux, Gentoo, KDE Neon, OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Holy fuck pls filter it by Systemd only Operating Systems. (But still cool having lots od Linux users in my university group)
I finally decided to Install Kubuntu and actually… it feels like it will last forever (till a new Ubuntu Update comes in and destroys itself by its own Updating system. It never worked for me)
Gentoo has systemd instructions right alongside openrc through the whole installation handbook. Pretty sure opensuse is systemd also.
Yup XD
For this exact reason i feel the fediverse should operate on #hashtags and the user should subscribe to their mods who will mark content for exclusion and filtration.
Meaning that instead of a ultimatum users can participate regardless of if bad mods ruin a community as per reddit /r/linux being ruined by loco mods.
This fiefdom format where topics are arbitrated and drum headded by fief lords is archaic and antiquated.
When the wrong man uses the right means, then the right means work in the wrong way.
Its our job to create systems that prevent this as much as possible through good design.
I’m not sure if it’s related but there was an annual symposium called “Linux Sucks”. It was a gathering of mostly Linux developers. The idea was to find the ways Linux sucks and develop ideas to fix the suck.
Nah, this seems like a community to dunk on Linux
Yeah, that guy’s not joking.
It’s not some kayfabe act. He is sincere in all of that posturing assholery.
Block and move on.
So: you posted a serious contribution in an unserious community, and got treated unseriously. It’s not very newsworthy.
As for that community’s existence, why is that even up for discussion? As a Linux user I’m happy for people to say what they like about Linux. If the jokes are funny, all the better.
I use Ubuntu btw and it doesn’t suck. Well, not that much.
I don’t think it’s a joke community, it seems to just be about hating Linux and not allowing any Linux positivity or praise
And so what? Why are you so bothered by it? I’m a Linux user of 20 years and I couldn’t give a fig that someone is running a forum called LinuxSucks which, unsurprisingly, contains little “positivity or praise” for Linux.
I mean… This is a site for posting things, and I posted a thing. Trust me, this isn’t the highlight of my day or something that deeply bothers me
Good to know.
Nope, I just checked. Apparently, you can’t say anything good about Linux. Seems like a useless waste of time but, whatever. If I got banned from that site I would consider it a blessing.
Tech people are always sensitive and unfair. You should get used to it or start seriosly fighting them if you’re not afraid of getting in a legal trouble. As someone already said, it’s probably good that you got banned because the community could hurt you more. Trust me, you don’t want to get banned on a community you’ve spent years and made friends on.
As light rises, so does darkness to meet it
I read it as a jokey community and maybe you took it too seriously. Regardless that’s a kinda silly comment to leave. That’s a community for, ironically or seriously, hating Linux, so obviously it’s not in the spirit of the community to leave a serious comment defending Linux.
I see a lot of Windows hate on Lemmy. If someone made a post here complaining about how much they hate Windows, and a Windows fan replied explaining why Windows is so great, I would say it’s kinda heavy-handed but not totally ridiculous for a mod to ban them, since a Linux community is probably not for this person.
