    Dude, enjoy your Windows then. This is not Twitter (or X or whatever) where you can go do your master’s bidding of creating noise to try and control the normies. Here most of us know how to do research and have the ability to differentiate bots (human or otherwise) from actual thinking individuals with a modicum of common sense and more than 2 functioning brain cells.

    Look at your down-votes and take a hint. That bullshit has no effect here.

      Dude, enjoy your Windows then.

      Well, I’m a Linux user so I can’t.

      This is not Twitter (or X or whatever) where you can go do your master’s bidding of creating noise to try and control the normies

      Of course you can! Just like on every other social media! What are you even talking about? :D

      Here most of us know how to do research and have the ability to differentiate bots (human or otherwise) from actual thinking individuals with a modicum of common sense and more than 2 functioning brain cells.

      You’d think that, but if you actually know a bit about tech, this community is hilariously ignorant most of the time - on all the matters you mentioned. :D

      Look at your down-votes and take a hint. That bullshit has no effect here.

      The hint is that this community is extremely aggressive towards language that goes against the hive-mind. The bullshit has no effect because people can’t differentiate what’s bullshit and what isn’t, so they just automatically assume any statement that isn’t violently anti-MS is bullshit spewed by bots at their master’s bidding.

      Take your comment as example…

        I’ll absolutely agree on that one part of your comment. At this point, any comment that remotely seems like its defending anything Microsoft does to me is now considered bullshit attempts by MS to clear their name to some extent. When a company is so consistently voicing lies all over the place, their actions display those lies in clear light, and someone is defending any of it, yeah, no use in even looking into it, so it goes into the ‘planted bot’ bag out of principle alone.

        One more thing I’ll agree on is the hive mind mentality, and we all live through that to some degree, no exceptions. We would all like to think we’re this individual entity with minds of our own influenced by nothing and no-one, but we all know that’s bullshit, unless you live in a cave at the top of mount Everest and your community IA made out of fucking squirrels and frozen rocks (no idea if there are caves or squirrels on mount Everest, or rocks for that matter, I pulled those out of my ass). We do have the ability to question everything.

        Now, while there’s all kinds of people in Lemmy, there are only 2 main groups that then brach out to the other sub-groups. There’s those of us that want a less “moderated by what may damage the ‘company’” content and discussions, and then there’s those that are here to disrupt and misinform, regardless of if it’s of their own volition or if there’s someone above them pushing it, whatever the intention may be. You’re so clearly part of the latter that blocking you, like you suggested to someone else, would be to your advantage alone, not the community’s. For example, why did you only take a snippet of my comment about how this is not Twitter instead of the whole paragraph? I’ll tell you why. This is the same behavior used by some Christian pastors to manipulate people by reading some small parts of the bible to eliminate the original context and inject their own. You’re too fucking transparent, try harder.

        That’s all I have in terms of responses to your

          I wish you all the luck in regaining a bit of happiness in life, so that you can stop with this insane “us vs them” bullshit. It’s unhealthy, mate.

            Thanks. I’m happy like this. Publicly hating on Microsoft without rhyme or reason is always the highlight of my day.
