Seems like this is a constant spam on Lemmy and it’s starting to drive me away from the platform. So much Linux spam.

[–] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

The Linux proselytizing combined with the rabid impractical political hive mind have combined to slowly take my usage of Lemmy from "increasing and replacing Reddit time" to "flattened out, going back to Reddit a bit" and now it's moving solidly into the territory of "definitely using and visiting Lemmy less, spending more time back on Reddit".

This platform has so much potential, but the community sucks. Which is saying something, given that the chief comparison is the reddit community.

I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to make something that filtered out all posts/comments containing the word "Linux", what software do you use to interact with Lemmy?

[–] BURN@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Exclusively Voyager for Lemmy. I’m also not really interested in making custom tools.

There’s also the problem of that filtering out half of the active content on the platform.
