      It’s here on Lemmy, too.

      I was down to like -50 on a thread about an X11 vulnerability and all I wrote was, “Imagine still running X.”

        I’d downvote that comment too. It adds nothing to the discussion and is deliberately confrontative and superficial.

        I really think some of the Linux crowd on Lemmy are way too sensitive and liberal with downvoting. That’s a perfectly fine comment to make. I imagine a friend saying that to me in real life and obviously it’s just an inoffensive joke/jab that shouldn’t be taken at face value.

          It’s not like I give a flying fuck about downvotes regardless but when it comes to Wayland the X11 folks are just wrong. It’s time to move on, and bitching and screaming isn’t going to make the developers come back to fix it. It’s Weekend At Bernies, the display manager.

          Shut the fuck up, install Wayland, and help submit bug reports and make it better. It’s the future.
