No change there, then.

Most remaining are hardcore, but I still do that...

Something I never understood - having used Manjaro KDE for 6 years now, and always getting the best help in the free Manjaro forum... Why do people go to Reddit and ask there???

I never actually got good answers in Reddit, and I was never interested to try to help folks in Reddit (though I'll help in Manjaro forums, and if I get it wrong there are Guru's reading who will help me see where I went wrong).

I understand that Reddit had a lot of great stuff, but people just over-extend everything with their tiny little brains.

r/linux is turning into a noob subreddit where people copy and paste rule #1 (no support, it isn't a support forum) and then try to offer support because nothing else is going on.

You know, the way you tell your cat to get off the table by giving it a nice piece of chicken and telling the cat it can't get chicken by coming to the table again.

Fuck this shit.

ROFLMAO some people say it's sad.

What's sad is that people even noticed it.

I hope your chooks turn into emus and kick your shithouse down

I disagree.

Realism is better.

Nothing worse than positivity "switch to Linux - you can do anything you like" gets followed up with "Now I installed it, and I can't make it do anything I want" leading to anger.

Just invite folks to join, and patiently explain how stuff works...

Better still, have a direct link to threads on Lemmy.

The thing is - when I gave good answers, I mostly wrote them in Obsidian - so that I have Marktext files with my most interesting answers anyway.

So they haven't gone, they just don't exist inside Reddit any more. Anyone with the same questions could still get them - if there were an equivalent alternative to whatever subreddit exists.

In the case of Linux answers, however, I don't give a toss - because one of the worst things about Reddit is that the best repository of information for any distribution should be the official forum for that distribution... and interestingly, I suffered zero pain using my official forum, whilst Reddit mods seem to enjoy kicking you out for a day or three for telling someone to format queries in a useful way.

My opinion is that, rather than thinking it can instantly aggregate the web, it would be the best solution for anyone wanting to get a group of people with common interests together in a relatively safe place.

Now you just have to start weaning yourself off Google - it's more evil than Reddit.

No ragrets.

For sure, if anyone sees a 'ragret' it would be deleted immediately ;)

150k karma that I earned

Actually, this is one of the biggest issues with Reddit - assuming Karma has value and getting narcissistic feedback.

I got more than that replying to DadJokes with a quickly googled PUN once per day.
