I'm just pointing out that it's a sudden and extreme change in commentary with no ramp up. The kind of thing that in other contexts, like politics, often comes from something like a coordinated attack or disinformation scheme.
Real world testing of a new propaganda campaign system on a topic most users don't give a shit about (Windows vs Linux), in a niche corner of the internet (Lemmy), isn't exactly an unlikely scenario.
Nah, this is just what it's been like from the moment Lemmy got momentum. The fediverse is pretty fundamentally aligned with the goals and interests of the same people who are part of the FOSS and Linux philosophy. From where I joined more than a year ago, it's been more or less the same.
If that's the case and I've somehow managed to just never see any of those threads until recently...
They might want to know that constantly saying "Windows bad, Linux good" in every thread doesn't convert people, it just gets annoying. That in turn makes people dislike the group and dismiss what they say without a second thought, even if they're right.
Using Windows on purpose because of a couple annoying nerds is quite the self-own
Posting as if your choice of OS is inherently superior to other choices is just pathetic.
