    I guess your wife is also using Windows and a web browser without ad blocker. People get used to having ads and messages thrown in their face constantly.

    But once you try Lemmy, you see how nice things can be.

      It’s funny how if you browse lemmy, you might be under the impression that Linux is some huge portion of the market share of OS’s.

      You know, rather than the reality which is less than 3% of users due to most people just wanting an OS that works without having to have a CS degree.

        Since when do you need CS degree to use Linux? Oh that’s right, you don’t. You just have to actually give a shit about what you personally want, and not what big corporations want you to think.

          Cool, you won’t convince anyone like that.

            There’s no need to convince anyone. Anyone who wants to be there is there.

            If you have to convince them to come in then you end up getting stuck with supporting them.

            It’s like the Reddit to Lemmy conversion. If people are going to consider the unknown and impassable barrier entry, they’re probably better off where they were at.

              I get it, but then the other dude is just being an asshole, belittling people that find hard the transition.

              Either they suck at presenting a good argument about their platform or they are just an asshole that belittles other who find it hard to use their platform. I prefer to think the first one although I know that chances of the second are higher.
