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
Good to know.
Then why did you bother posting here complaining about it?
this is a website for posting things
Deep, complex reasons
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
Nope, I just checked. Apparently, you can’t say anything good about Linux. Seems like a useless waste of time but, whatever. If I got banned from that site I would consider it a blessing.
I’m not sure if it’s related but there was an annual symposium called “Linux Sucks”. It was a gathering of mostly Linux developers. The idea was to find the ways Linux sucks and develop ideas to fix the suck.
Nah, this seems like a community to dunk on Linux
As light rises, so does darkness to meet it
You should also take into account the animosity against lemmy.ml in general from some instances and communities. Something to do with the moderation here or something else.

That is indeed Don Quixote and I believe you’ll find that he is tilting at that windmill
It’s clearly a giant.
Not content with unasked for evangelizing in Windows communities and posts, this Stallman’s Witness tries their hand in an even less welcome locale.
Injured by the failure of their attempt, they seek sympathy back in friendlier climes.
It’s not a “community”, it’s one person making all the posts because I guess they wanted to make hating Linux their entire personality. 🤷
I mean, you do see the irony of saying that on a website filled with Linux-crazed people, right…?
I’d argue dedicating your personality to hating something is much weirder than being a fanboy of it, especially when that thing is a piece of technology nobody is forcing you to use.
I don’t see irony there. I think calling this FOSS community ‘filled with Linux-crazed people’ is a stretch, but even then, it’s very different to:
spoiler'd for long image
or even just hating a niche product whatsoever. It’s not like Linux is EEE’ing or being invasive, so it’s hard to equivocate being a passionate fan to being a passionate hater.
There was a time when there was an annual “Linux Sucks” presentation that I liked because it was a roundup of candid, yet constructive criticism of Linux (and then at some point the person running that went off the deep end and started yelling about woke agendas).
I wouldn’t mind there being a whole community devoted to pointing out shit that is poorly designed or just broken when running linux, and we as a community then try to fix them or find workarounds.
But as others have pointed out, that community isn’t a community, it’s literally just one account hanging out by themselves.

But isn’t that every linux forum?
Yeah, but I think it can feel too much like a circle jerk around here sometimes. I get that people want to win over new users, but some of it goes too far I think. The fact is Linux isn’t perfect, and while no OS is, there are some critical things you can do on Windows that are still a pain in the ass on Linux. Some of that is a vendor/proprietary software problem, but a good chunk of it is just people being willing to overlook a thin layer of jank in their normal workflows.
I think we’d all be better off to all acknowledge and clean up the jank rather than try to pretend it’s fine as is.
To be fair, Windows has its own jank. As someone who is forced to use Windows 11 for work, I’m much happier putting up with the minimum Linux jank I’ve experienced compared to the Windows jank.
If any of that made sense.
There is a guy that is a Linux dev, that maintains* a list of what sucks about linux, its very comprehensive–but a bit dated. He alao has same for Windows. I will have to look for the link
Apparently it was against the rules of that community and I was banned.
Sounds like they’ve done you a favour. Now you don’t have to see their random hater circlejerk community again.

Oh, maybe. Is that how it works?
That whole community is just one guy posting memes. Some are funny but mostly its just odd how much he hates Linux.
Whatever :)
It’s not satire?
No, it’s one person who is so unironically salty that they post memes about how much they hate Linux several times a day.
Everyone has a hobby 🙃
Hummm… Guess you’re to sensible? I mean I’m die hard linux lover for 3 years now and will never switch back to Windows… EVER!
However, I found some of those posts quite funny !
Some of them are funny indeed
I don’t understand why so many people take the existence of linuxsucks communities so personally, the reddit version has more linux users defending it than actual hate, but that one was more meant as a “legitimate grievances against linux” community as opposed to what the lemmy version seems to be.
Just block and ignore like anything else. Its okay if there are people that don’t like the thing you like.
I didn’t take it personally, just confused and amused at the situation
install windows then
No u
Is this a good guide?
Damn, the down votes. People really don’t get sarcasm on the internet eh?
Pretty accurate meme though.
Yeah… I am in my Arch comfort zone, till I was forced to move on as the newest kernels of Arch triggered kernel Panics at my Starlite V device. Even the LTS version (and for some weird reason the rt kernel was the only one working without panics).
So someone said “Use NixOS, its great”… it felt cool at beginning, but sucked very soon as everything should be written into stone if you want changes on your system, and then reboot, because the switch command didn’t really trigger enough changes. Netbeans was without Maven till I rebooted. I thought I sucked at adding it properly. Frustrating it was.
Then I tried MX Linux, just to realize that Debian has Ancient packages with many many bugs, like Okular having a broken Pinch-Zoom which is fixed after 23.31 or smth. Debian had version 22 of Okular. And I disliked that MX Linux used Plasma 5…
Another one recommends Void Linux, Gentoo, KDE Neon, OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Holy fuck pls filter it by Systemd only Operating Systems. (But still cool having lots od Linux users in my university group)
I finally decided to Install Kubuntu and actually… it feels like it will last forever (till a new Ubuntu Update comes in and destroys itself by its own Updating system. It never worked for me)
Gentoo has systemd instructions right alongside openrc through the whole installation handbook. Pretty sure opensuse is systemd also.
Yup XD
My guess: the mod is sittin there posting memes on his gentoo-machine and laughing his ass of, because someone’s taking his community serious.
Unrelated but I got banned from the atheist memes community for calling one of the mods memes a boomer Facebook meme.
As an atheist, I cringe at nearly every post I see from that community. Makes me want to punch teenage neckbeard me in the face
Same. I imagine it’s how most Christians feel about their loudest supporters as well
It turns out, mods are gods.
