Saw a post without noticing the community and commented a genuine comment with good intentions.

Apparently it was against the rules of that community and I was banned.

My (removed) comment:

And yeah, the last comment was sarcasm.

I just don’t really understand why is there a community for shitting on Linux? Like I can get not liking it, and hating the Linux die hard fans, but it really is an amazing thing that is integral to almost all modern computing… Kind of like hating social media by having a facebook page for it.

    So: you posted a serious contribution in an unserious community, and got treated unseriously. It’s not very newsworthy.

    As for that community’s existence, why is that even up for discussion? As a Linux user I’m happy for people to say what they like about Linux. If the jokes are funny, all the better.

    I use Ubuntu btw and it doesn’t suck. Well, not that much.

      I don’t think it’s a joke community, it seems to just be about hating Linux and not allowing any Linux positivity or praise

        And so what? Why are you so bothered by it? I’m a Linux user of 20 years and I couldn’t give a fig that someone is running a forum called LinuxSucks which, unsurprisingly, contains little “positivity or praise” for Linux.

          I mean… This is a site for posting things, and I posted a thing. Trust me, this isn’t the highlight of my day or something that deeply bothers me

                Even so, why post this and not any one of countless other things?

                Like I feel that you’re missing a clear sign here. Most people would roll their eyes and move on. This is quite possibly the most “leopards ate my face” post in this community and yet it’s being upvoted because “hooray tribalism” over something as asinine as OS (really kernel) choice.

                  Because they found it interesting and wanted to discuss it with people?

                  Just because it’s low priority doesn’t mean it lacks any interest, we can exist between extremes

                  Most people would roll their eyes and move on

                  Quite famously 1% of the community are posters, after all. Who the fuck cares what a normal person would post? OP wanted to

                  and yet it’s being upvoted because “hooray tribalism” over something as asinine as OS (really kernel) choice.

                  Lol, it’s being upvoted because most of us recognize the sub and it’s pathetic mod and are laughing at being reminded of them, if the comments are anything to go by
