Yep!

Also lemmy is full of open-source Linux nerds who will upvote anything that bashes on Microsoft (oh excuse me Micro$oft for the old heads).

Guilty as charged

Of course it is. Open source nerds created lemmy and operate the instances. They are the primary audience that would care to abandon reddit over the API change and now the privacy policy change.

This is like going to a gun club and campaigning for better gun control. You might find a couple supporters but for the most part you'll just be pissing everyone off.

I see more comments like this than comments of these boogeyman you guys speak of. You guys are doing your own little circlejerk, thinking you're cool and smart.

......what? The fact that this post is at the top of my feed is proof enough. They're absolutely right, it's purely speculation with very little evidence that has been upvoted to shit.

Also, "Lemmy is full of open-source Linux nerds" is NOT a controversial statement. I am an open-source Linux nerd. YOU are an open-source Linux nerd, looking at your comments. This place is absolutely riddled with nerds, look around my dude.

You think everyone who upvotes or participates in the bashing of Microsoft is a "open-source Linux nerd"? You think people who use Windows love Windows and love their business practices and don't have a history of being shafted?

Just unbelievable with you people.

You mean this whole thread doesn't exist inside your mind?

Everyone here is an “open-source Linux nerd” because they hate Windows. The only people who hate Windows are "open-source Linux nerds.” You are very smart.
