Or team up with buddies on Discord and vote brigade.
Every post in this community is brigaded to hell. These linux evangelists are pathetic
It’s a problem with the karma system and it’s promotion of misinformation.
Myths about cast iron were debunked over 20 years ago. There are scientific data sheets showing thermal properties of various metals. Kenji Lopez-Alt published reproduceable results of a flour test on cast iron and a clad pan. Many people have shown you can cook steak perfect in steel. An obviously fake steak posted there got hundreds of updoots. A perfectly cooked steak that I used an air-fryer (lowest setting) and finished in stainless got 0 simply because I posted how I did it.
-The steak sub on reddit contintues to romanticize cast iron for mythical properties (at least they did a couple years ago before I muted it) and will likewise down-vote to hell factual information that dispells their nonsense). -This sub is far from alone, there are many promoting misinformation (and Kenji romaticized cast iron in his book after 2 chapters of bragging about being scientific). -(just a single example out of many I could give)
-It’s what kept me initially from reddit alternatives. (They did nothing to correct the inherent problems of the karma system).
Vote brigading / manipulation is punished on reddit with life time bans, and even Reddit is not able to stop it from being a major problem. Other sites like facebook and youtube know to hide the negative votes. (you can see the positive through p.lemmy.world -maybe others). -So at least you can see that people liked something here.
The brigading would be obvious to admins here too. If you look at old posts in this community, they were obviously brigaded while the positive votes that over-took them trickled in slower and over time.
If I could, I’d turn the karma system off. People should have to defend their disagreement with words and let the reader decide. They shouldn’t have to go to a ‘sucks’ community to find out the flaws that get buried or aren’t well received in echo chambers. They should be able to block an unlimited amount of users without it breaking the site (I know Reddit will break).

Sorry but what the heck are you talking about?
I’ve used Linux on a personal computer for many years now, no problems at all. Runs rock solid.
What are you even trying to achieve with all these posts? Is it some kind of tongue-in-cheek “backfiring” for all the anti-Windows memes that Linux users make up? Or is it something else?
