TechConnectify@mas.to - Oh my gosh I just figured it out.

Okay, all you open source evangelist people: your knee-jerk reaction to come at people who are talking about a problem with whatever commercial software they use and suggest Your Favorite Alternatives™ is exactly like saying “why don’t you just buy a house?” to someone complaining about their landlord.

TechConnectify@mas.to - Actually, to borrow from @DoubleA, it’s worse than that.

It’s like talking to someone who is in a crappy apartment as though they have the agency and skills to stake out a plot of land and build their own home.

You have to be at peace with the fact that some people just want to exist and not worry about so many things. And they still have a right to complain about their situation.

    Maybe if fedizens would stop trying to convert everone to their tech stack they would be less obnoxious.

        And this is the reasons why the fediverse has such a hard time reaching mainstream adoption. Because people like you can’t let others live their life. Maybe people don’t want to spend time to switch to linux.

          The Fediverse has no intent of reaching mainstream adoption.

          If the way you “live your life” is by being a toxic asshole, you’re gonna have a hard time no matter where you go.
