Mastodon Myths
(lemmy.world)
This is my favorite thing this morning. FreeBSD ftw.
Jokes aside, is Mastodon still tech nerd dominated in 2025? This was from 2022.
I mean, yeah, there’s loads of tech nerds, but it’s the internet so there’s always going to be.
But honestly, the vast majority of the people I follow are just regular folks who like to chat about regular stuff. Like how they use Arch, btw.
Why can't we contain all those tech nerds inside a dock or something?
we would board containers and find the tun/tap.
As long as tech nerds can learn to be decent human beings, platforms can be awesome with them on it.
There are dozens of us!
What's Linux?
It's the online handle of some Linus fellow, some would argue he's internet famous for whatever reason
It's a type of sausage that's famous in the Netherlands
"Theres also a emacs plugin"
Truly heresy against the lord Linus Torvalds, Vim is the only correct option all else is unholy.
Surely you must love VS Codium even more.
eww vim vi better
Grrrr >:c
Linus uses emacs. Not GNU emacs, but still emacs.
NeoVim says hi.
Well obviously neovim is also a correct option, does that really even need to be said?
My dad probably takes the cake as he used the OG VI back in the day.
nano/Kate >>>
Nano is for people posing at using Linux
You have to commit to a side in the war
Micro because mouse (jk I just use nano like a scrub because I'm used to it's hotkeys)
Absolutely bloated (kate) and nano isnt vim therefore it sucks
Is the train okay?
I used Vim once. I still do, mostly because I don't know how to quit it.
Asking someone that doesn't know how, to close vim is my favorite password generator.
It’s my band name but all the members quit when I told them.
You can always close vim but you can never quit >:3

100 myths. Perfect.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who get that joke and those who don't.
And those who weren't expecting a ternary joke.
Ha, I missed that part. Subtle.

Hey! I know some of those words!
they lost me at Linux
I stopped reading at 100
Does that mean you only read the first 11 myths?

Well I do use Linux on various devices and on my Raspberry Pi, it's just that my laptop is Windows. No, don't throw rocks at me, I use WSL too.
Also, I've somehow yet to post on Mastodon from Emacs. The existence of such Emacs addon didn't surprise me, because I've posted to identica and twitter from Emacs. You know, back in the day.

Rock throwing intensifies 😾
My lack of knowledge about whatever an emacs plugin is proves #4 wrong.
This is most likely a joke akin to xkcd 2501
Linux community in a nutshell and also way too many developers
Rare goat tier toot
I have to be honest I thought OP was being 100% serious until the last line.
That last line is why I shared it with others who have no idea what half the things it's referencing are.
