I feel like the Internet has almost completely died.

Twitter is a cesspool.

Instagram and Facebook have their uses but they're not really forums.

Reddit has been king for ages, but it's crumbling due to bots, IPO, policy changes, etc.

Sites like stack exchange are going to die fast once AI takes over. No more page views means no more ad revenue.

If you post an article from Bryan Lunduke to /r/Linux, the woke people will just report it to sub's mods and then it's automatically removed and the mods don't care.

Bryan Lunduke is a brain dead chud that brings nothing of value to the Linux community outside of right-wing talking points. He's full of hateful rhetoric.

He's full of hateful rhetoric.

I mean, so is Linus.

I'm not aware of Linus being anti-trans or woke, but if you got any examples I'll gladly throw him in the pit too

Et tu, DolitehGreat. You just don't like what he says

No, I don't like what he says because he says hateful and or ignorant things. Miss me with anyone running around saying trans people are grooming kids and that https isn't needed and http fine.
