Saw a post without noticing the community and commented a genuine comment with good intentions.
Apparently it was against the rules of that community and I was banned.

My (removed) comment:
And yeah, the last comment was sarcasm.
I just don't really understand why is there a community for shitting on Linux? Like I can get not liking it, and hating the Linux die hard fans, but it really is an amazing thing that is integral to almost all modern computing... Kind of like hating social media by having a facebook page for it.
" that community isn't a community, it's literally just one account hanging out by themselves."
Is it though? Here's a screenshot from [email protected] showing 2 other contributors (and this isn't chat; I'm not here to 'hang out').
It's also new and trending. Even on Reddit's r/linuxsucks, I was a prolific poster, and continue as such on r/desktoplinuxsucks.
Maybe just admit being butt-hurt or mute, because you aren't the intended audience and it brings you discomfort. -Thanks
Lol that's actually hilarious. So but, why not comment on your posts too? Each post is just sitting there with an empty comments section.
I got into mostly posting rather that commenting because of the hostility of Linux evangelists / brigaders. -Posts can't yield negative karma on reddit. My comment is typically in the form of the title or in the customization / creation of the meme.
Maybe you're still thinking back to when it was new; there are some posts from today (or a matter of a couple hours) with 3 comments already. It's funny how people are criticizing it when there's some adjustment (getting the right audience / parcipation) to be done in the face of a brigading / evangelizing issue from people it's not meant for. I didn't bring a community, and I'm not going to recruit for here from the reddit subs.
It's unlikely that anyone is going to come along and contribute anywhere near as much as I do. -I don't see the problem with that. Progress is happening and we are continually on the trending lists. IMO it's working.
I'm all for it. All publicity is good publicity in this space. Open criticism is the first step to better open software.
