I honestly don’t know what’s going on there. The sole mod and contributor of the community keeps posting low quality shit purely to bash on Linux and people kept calling him out in the posts and getting banned from the comm for that.

Now I noticed the same mod has just locked comments on all posts to prevent having to ban anyone commenting on their memes

    the mod of that community is running a very specific, almost personal, project. i won’t say it’s 100% certainly without doubt satire but those are the vibes. their entire persona/digital characterization is so obviously flawed and reactionary as to give the impression of absurdity. poe’s law type of situation.

    a lot of people really dislike the project for understandable reasons. i personally find it entertaining. but the reality is no one is forcing you to see stuff you don’t like. very easy to block the community.

      It’s not. I recall someone asking the mod what the point of the community was, and they explicitly said they’re acting in earnest. They don’t just want to satire Linux, there’s an agenda and a mean spirit behind it.

      Too bad they are terrible at making biting or satirical points, and they often come off looking uneducated. It’s not really even ironically funny; it’s just kinda sad.

          Sure, but that would be a weird thing to lie about. Also, it wasn’t just a three-word “yeah I’m serious,” there was more context to it.
