    ‘Brigading’ would be if pro-Linux communities were organizing to specifically target another community.

    The fediverse is likely to attract the kinds of people interested in Linux in the first place, and all the negative attention that community attracts comes organically.

    I talked with the user a bit in Linux_vs_Windows before they were booted from the community, and it’s my opinion that they just have a hate-boner going for Linux. It’s possible to have valid criticism of Linux, but they go way past legitimate and straight into obsession territory. They tend to post in that community daily. So their points aren’t exactly great (though sometimes they hit on a good meme) and they get the points they get naturally.

    It’s not a conspiracy, their arguments just tend to be shit.

      I read a really egregious childish and angry comment that had nothing to do with linux, and it went on so badly I checked the persons post history up, something I very rarely do, guess who it was…

      I also already had that linux hate community blocked, it was so low effort when it wasn’t just outright wrong.
