Why is there hostility towards suggestions to switch to lemmy from redditors?

    I would be willing to bet a lot do not even know and/or care about Lemmy

    Windows users don’t feel any one particular way abut Linux users.

    Redditors also do not feel any one particualr way about Lemmy users–in the unlikely case of reddit users knowing Lemmy users exist at all.

    Well, 99% of Windows users have never heard of Linux, so in that sense, yes.

      Not true. Almost everyone’s heard of Linux at this point - the hype surrounding the IT sector in the past decade has ensured that.

    Who cares what they think of each other, like seriously it’s like the old 4chan vs Reddit vs 9gag. Who cares what platform you use. I use 4chan, Reddit, and Lemmy. Each has their own niche and anyone who sticks to one and thinks it is the best is falling to tribalism.

      some see it as “hard left” like a Truth Social for tankies.

      I mean… I thought that, and that’s why I joined 🤣

      Glad it hasn’t been 100% tankie, but so far I’ve felt at home with a mostly left userbase

    Everyone has their balance between convenience, requirements, and willingness to explore. I’d guess that most Linux users haven’t given BSD a fair chance, and further away Plan9 people lament that few people wanted to migrate away from Unix.
