There’s a lot of little things to you need to learn, that you don’t learn until actually messing around with in Linux which absolutely make or break your experience with Linux, and that Linux users will mock you for asking about.

For a lot of people windows just works how they want it, so when they’re convinced to switch by a friend/family member/youtuber they now have to relearn what was incredibly easy for them, which absolutely will cause frustrations regardless.

And a lot of Linux dudes get really defensive and elitist when you ask them to explain or help, like screaming that you’re afraid of the command line when you’ve just never needed to use it before. So the initial learning curve is rough, to het more or less what you had before(For an avg user)

Like. I’m sorry, but having an issue keeping you from using your pc, and only getting advice to read the documentation of the distro, when you could have just kept windows, is going to frustrate people

I could see that then, kinda like how you can react with different emoji on facebook.

Idk if I’d prefer it, but I think it could work

I feel like the issue with forced feedback when you downvote is you’ll get a lot of comments where its just 1-2 words, doesn’t say much, just a “No” or “Bad”. And if you require a min characters like the bneg forums you’ll just get “No. 10chars”

Requiring comments will cause people to half ass it at best, I think. Which, sure then people can downvote them, but are people going to write a well thought out comment for every “No”?

Is having 40 “I disagree” comments really better for discussion than just 40 downvotes?

I would also add that getting a post mass downvoted can be a sign that a community might not be a good fit for you.

Like, using reddit as an example, if you see someone spreading anti-lgbt hate and getting upvoted, but when you try to be like “Hey that’s not cool” or explain why they’re wrong you get massively downvoted, it can be a really good sign that maybe it’s not a great place.

This is absolutely true. I worked with a dude that we had to fire due to being extremely unhygienic, was asked to do something about literally smelling like shit(We worked in food, he was very, very clearly unhygenic and unsafe around the food) and he threw a fit about how wiping his ass/touching it in the shower would make him gay.

He didn’t start like that as far as I know, but after like a year of working there, so I guess he heard from someone that it was the case and took it to heart or had some kind of mental issues around that time? Idk

It’s the only guy I’ve known to do it, so it’s not a common thing at all, but they’re absolutely out there.

I’m convinced that button just reccomends them more. I’ve clicked it for quartering some 30 times before I got a browser plugin to just outright block channels.

And youtube still tries to send me his videos.

For me if I ever look up warhammer 40k it immediately starts sending me losers like quartering or other channels like him.

Like, bo youtube, I don’t want to hear about how feminism and “wokes” are ruining warhammer. I also don’t want to be sent Sargon of Carl videos. Uhg. Lmao

I like my phone, I have more control over it, I like that it’s not made in ways to punish me for fixing it, I don’t trust Apple, and it cost 300$ instead of costing more than my current car
