    Nah, this is just what it’s been like from the moment Lemmy got momentum. The fediverse is pretty fundamentally aligned with the goals and interests of the same people who are part of the FOSS and Linux philosophy. From where I joined more than a year ago, it’s been more or less the same.

      If that’s the case and I’ve somehow managed to just never see any of those threads until recently…

      They might want to know that constantly saying “Windows bad, Linux good” in every thread doesn’t convert people, it just gets annoying. That in turn makes people dislike the group and dismiss what they say without a second thought, even if they’re right.

        You seem to misunderstand. Here on the Fediverse, Linux users are NOT such a minority as on the rest of the Internet. Most people here do not need “converting”. They already have. Again, you’re not on Reddit or Twitter. You are literally surrounded by open source enthusiasts.
