The first paragraph is why, Linux users appreciate privacy and open source more than content and usability. They make their own, with blackjack and hookers.

Reddit is a business, so it will care about what the majority does, and what it can get away with. The rest is just side effects.

I do agree with the shallow downvoting though.

Oh I understand why but as someone who uses Linux and doesn't really put any data into social media, it's fucking exhausting to constantly have people act like they understand the one extra little key thing that'll save you from the government or private entities. Most of them just regurgitating random bullshit they hear and don't know a fucking thing about.

Oh you gotta have a DNS pihole, you gotta have Linux on everything or you like sucking Gate's dick, no not that distro! Arch/Debian/Mint! Why do you need tab stacking/side bars/whatever else Firefox doesn't have? Chromium based browsers bad!

It's clear why people hate Linux users, they're insufferable. Truly the vegans of the internet.

😂 I get your points about monotony.

As a redreader user, I moved here because I couldn't suffer reddit without SOME parsing and garbage collection.

Yes, even Linux vegans. :)

Holy shit the vegan part was savage.

I mean I feel like it's an overmade analogy I just didn't think crossfitters had the same ring.

FOSS-fitters, heh.
