MODERATORS
Because on lemmy a post getting 100 up votes is enough to end up somewhere high on all, so your seeing people from outside of the Linux community in here.
That's why I'm here, front page.
I would say "people don't see the community a post is in before commenting?" But of course they don't. :'(
People outside of the community are allowed to have a different experience than those within it.
Of course, but sometimes communities have a specific context that is important to be aware of. Just to give an extreme examples: Communities like unpopular opinion, that you should upvote if you do not agree with that opinion. Or circle jerks communities that the point is to be tongue and cheek about the particular subject. Or the nosleep community that, if am not mistaken the name, everyone has to interact with the post in character as if it was real.
The title of this post is "I Don't See a Reason to Switch to Windows from Linux Anymore in 2025", surely that invites discussion?
I read the combo before my original reply as "there is a bunch of people with no interest in Linux or that just hates Linux coming to a Linux community just to say that Linux sucks". I feel like that if it was a more general technology sub it is fair, but in a Linux community is more weird, like people interested in Linux will discuss its shortcomings in a more positive way not just being dismissive. But I may be interpreting things wrong.
