To be fair, there was another thread discussing the same topic, and many people were calling out the vaxry, and pointing out the amount of brigading going on. Once any topic like this is brought up, the worst type of people come out......

Oh wow, that thread wasn't around last time I checked (when I made my post in the weekly megathread), it really does go to show how the other thread is just entirely brigading when there's a clear community consensus in the thread you mentioned of how fucked up it all is

Honestly, I think /r/linux is somehow less of a cesspool than the Lemmy equivalent most of the time lol, though at least it so far hasn't had this kind of brigading issue

It's still a cesspool. They were mad about the RMS fiasco, but for the wrong reasons. A lot of reddit tech subs were on his side during that.

I remember that....it's a shame people couldn't just accept RMS isn't perfect. Always looking for any reason to defend him

It IS on reddit.
