What's the last straw that made you quit commercial social medias (Meta,TwitterX, etc...)?
  • The use of automated tools that blindly ban based on keywords and the subreddit is out of control. As you found there is NO attempt to put anything in context. Truly moronic administration that violates their claim to be a "place for discussion". I got in trouble because I left a comment questioning antivaxxers in an antivax subreddit and suddenly got flooded with bans across reddit because I had left a comment in a politically incorrect subreddit. They use scripts to moderate. Of course there is NO recourse, no mods will listen to you, no reddit admin of the mods to contact, nothing.

    My feeling is reddit has reduced discourse to bad puns, nothing even slightly controversial, must agree with the sub's echo chamber and ads, lots of ads. If you go against the herd you will be culled. Just smile and nod.

  • Just made the switch to Linux as a lifetime Windows user.
  • As someone who uses RHEL for work every time I have to set something up on a windows system I groan. It really boils down to the app, some are very easy to use but it seems anything that involves OS config, the registry and permissions becomes a royal pita. Linux isn't 100% pain free (looking at you package conflicts) and SSL config sucks on all OS's but the majority of the time it presents smaller hurdles because I can dig into any part I need to.

  • Everyone loves reading documentation, what are some of your favourites?
  • I like writing documentation for processes at work. I always aim it at the "I'm familiar with the tools but haven't done this before" person. I always include examples of the actual commands because it is one thing to describe a command but when you see it it makes FAR more sense.
