    I’m more surprised at PewDiePie, tbh. Jason runs a Mastodon instance, with the account notjustbikes@notjustbikes.com (I’m hoping that by leaving out the @ sign before the local username, that won’t send him an unwanted notification), so the fact that he’s also a Linux user is less surprising. I don’t watch PDP, but I gather he has a very large and impressionable audience, so him promoting Linux should be good!

      Personally, I think it’s okay to ping him. I would think it’d be neat to see where and what conversations are occurring.

        If you want to mention him, I won’t try to stop you (not that I could if I wanted to). For me though, I’m pretty sure he’s already aware of the existence of !notjustbikes@feddit.nl so he has the resources to follow threadiverse discussions of himself if he wants, and I’d rather leave it in his hands to control that rather than have it thrust upon him.

          I think that’s fair, and I appreciate your considerateness 😊

          Ha, nah it’s okay. I think it’d be silly for me to ping him further down in the thread after the fact. I was mostly voicing my unsolicited opinion 😆

      I was surprised to see him promoting Linux as well. People should not be shy about this.

        He doesn’t do a lot of gaming videos now, but it does seem so. He talked about Proton and running OBS, so for anything Linux compatible via Proton is likely that’s what he’s doing
