Just like migrating from Reddit to Lemmy it's the same as migrating from Windows to Linux, there's shortcomings and learning curve and the more I use Lemmy the more I hate about Windows, because unlike reddit Lemmy is open source and open source softwares communities is more popular than proprietary communities and people like to shit on them (and I loved it). (Sorry for horrible English)

Yeah! Good on you. All these big tech companies are getting worse and worse.

At the risk of starting a fight in the comments, what distro did you choose?

Okay but why? Is it just because it's closed source?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago

There are good closed source softwares out there but most of the popular closed source software are bad not because of their functionality but because of evil and controlling monetization tactics
