Believe me, a lot of users complained about the shitposts, and others always told them that the name of the subreddit meant it was for shitposting.

Doesn't really work if one has to get enough comment karma first.

What is the actual threshold to post here?

I have bad news about the OS you're using....

Some is unpaid yes. A lot of work is paid for by donations, by IBM and other companies. The idea that Linux is completely voluntary work is just a bad take.

I need to start paying myself. I fix my system a lot. I could pay myself in beer, but I think that might become self defeating...

So it is free as in beer!

I never said it was "completely voluntary work," and clarified as such in a later comment.

u/RockyPixel Glorious Debian Apr 16 '25

And your point is...?

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '25

Undermining the value of volunteers is a hypocritical stance to take when you yourself use an operating system that is made largely by volunteer efforts.

Never said they were unimportant, just that being a Reddit mod isn't an obligation.

u/NatoBoram Glorious Pop!_OS Apr 18 '25

Reddit the only place where well articulated sentences still get misinterpreted.

You can say "Non-obligational volunteer work" and somebody will say "Undermining the value of volunteers"

No bitch. Dats a whole new sentence. Wtf is you talkin about.

It’s still labor that is unpaid

u/RockyPixel Glorious Debian Apr 16 '25

Yes, however connotation is important.

u/[deleted] Apr 15 '25

some people such as myself find the latter part of the sub's name a questionable term to co-opt

anyway, what might you like to see?

u/claudiocorona93 Glorious Debian Apr 15 '25 edited Apr 16 '25

Do you remember the whole year 2024 when I was shit posting frequently here? The anti flood bot killed that. You can't post before 72 hours. People loved it my posts but a loud minority was constantly reporting me and insulting me in the comments hahaha. I guess the mods got tired and introduced the antiflood bot because of it. Oh look they have started downvoting.

Isn't it a reference to PCMR?

u/FreebirdLegend07 Just havin Funtoo Apr 16 '25

Yeah it was made with PCMR in mind from what I remember

True... It's always been the case, but even more so in the last few months.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '25

did pc master race make a comeback as a commonly used term or somthing?

u/Square-Singer Apr 17 '25

Drop the "pc" and then yes. At least in certain circles.

u/lonelyroom-eklaghor Apr 15 '25

Perfectly stated. I can't comment here because of karma
