After the reddit migration there was a sense of optimism and feeling that this platform could be something great. People were joking and interacting positively.

Firefox purity testing. Oh no they ran an ad or made a post on a mainstream platform or developed a widget. Look at the state of the world this is such a non issue and compared to the other browsers out there they are fighting the good fight unequivocally.
Its an obvious parody of how some linux users come off. I see so many posts here about linux where I know its blatantly untrue and the person has obviously only used linux for a few months. People here act like linux is perfect when its not its just better than MacOS and windows. If you really think there are not things to laugh at linux for you're mentally cooked.
