is a booster-bot not really of linux, I would say ANTI-LINUX, and promotes constantly marketing by 3-4 corporations that seek to dominate linux and displace all alternatives.
What bot?
Your only mention is a community, where there are multiple people posting and commenting about different Linux related subjects.
It’s more akin to a mastodon hashtag than to a user, which makes your clamoring for ban a bit weird.
I am clearly speaking of the @linux bot constantly pumping systemd only distros, gnome, kde plasma, chrome, qt and other corporate trash that ubuntu mint manjaro debian have embraced as their devs are on the corporate payroll

Have you ever considered that, maybe, just maybe, that the reason the Linux community on !linux talks primarily about these distros are 1. because the majority use them and 2. there the only distros that consistently prove to be worth talking about.
The majority of people speak of junk/fast food 3 brands of soda, 2, 3 brands of coffee/tea, 2 brnands of tropical fruit ,3 brands of power-drinks, 3 brands of beer,
as nutrition, 2 brands of phone OSs, and it is all crap if not bad for you.
So what is your point?
What is popular is what has been marketed, and it is usually both dominant and a very poor alternative to what it sells for.
You should just block 99% of Linux insistence if you’re that butt hurt over what’s popular.
Also, the Linux community consistently doesn’t give a rats ass about marketing, we only care about what works.
Ok, but what you’re mentioning is actually a Linux community on a lemmy instance. That’s like a fediverse version of a linux subreddit.
It might show up weird on mastodon, idk.
The bot you speak of does not exist (or you didn’t mention their username), lemmy.ml/c/linux is just a collection of different people posting different threads about linux related stuff.
It’s a spam bot? But you just posted on it. I don’t promote cycling out the back of my ford truck. What is it with these fellow penguins taking such offence from corporations anyway? I’m as anti-capitalist as the next person but embrace reality, they’re not going anywhere for a while.
And they have made money not by sharing but by monopolizing and selling, which makes them who they are.
You are a foul if you think a for profit (even non-profit) corporation will have an interest advancing Open and Free software. They are there to OWN code and trade names, MARKET trade names, to defeat alternatives that lack corporate/banking funding.
Init is just one process, 98% of systemd is its logind, or its isolated fork called elogind, and its multilayered dbus labyrinth, which all those mentioned use. Running gnome and its applications without it is nearly impossible @Rustmilian
The one article almost literally says if you don't like systemd go to F**BSD and away from linux!
But yes, there are those irrelevant 3 mentions in a site as old as systemd itself.
No, I obviously don’t. There are a lot of independent users in this community, and, as far as I know the moderators do not censor those “alternatives”. This community practically lives of open source software.
We’re often not even from same instances. “@Linux” is !linux , I’m on lemmy.world, FQQD here is on lemmy.ohaa.xyz and others are from any of the possible hundreds.
