Yes really. You’re just giving anecdotal evidence, which is fine, but the GP is still correct. Here’s some counter anecdotal evidence: my high end sound card doesn’t work with Linux Mint. Half my motherboard’s USB ports are not recognised b

So, to be clear, the GP was stating that their issue is a lack of free speech. You agree that that’s your biggest issue with Bluesky too. But you’re unhappy with people expressing their personal opinions, primarily because you don’t agree w
