Reddit Funded by Microsoft
So this thing happened:
Hours apart:
Some people who are new to GNU/Linux wrongly assume that Reddit entertains discussions about the topic. In reality, Reddit has banned and continues to ban many pro-GNU/Linux people and it moreover installed as moderators (on this topic) people who are hostile towards communities. Strongly encouraged: Wayland, systemd, GAFAM, DRM, Rust, GitHub, lockdown etc.
We casually need to remind people that Reddit is, by design, a foe of Free software (and we know Microsoft has long paid Reddit not only for ads but also for running misinformation campaigns).
Of relevance and older:
- The Standard Needs to Improve Its Standards for Fact-Checking, Aaron Swartz Had Nothing to Do With Reddit and He Detested the Company That Created It
- Reddit Deletes Stuff, But Not for Being False or Misleading
- The Campaign to 'End' Richard Stallman - Part III - The Reddit Mob (Social Control Media Controlled, Steered or Commandeered by Wall Street)
If you are using GNU/Linux and look for information (or discussions) about it, then remember that Reddit is the wrong place to go because it culls many people who are pro-GNU/Linux. Reddit is merely a filter and we knows who controls that filter (using money). █
