Facebook flags Linux topics as 'cybersecurity threats' — posts and users being blocked

This is the opposite of a conspiracy. More of an incompetence theory.

Its not suckerberg, it's Microsoft doing this. Not the first time, not the last either, definitely a low and scary step, though. This is one step in the direction of "let's literally kill the competition"

yeah, i hope i'm just overthinking. Its just that linux is basically only true freedom we have what comes to operating systems. Maybe they just want to keep people who dont know that much about computers away from linux. Though that should be opposed just as well.

Ehh, we still have family and HOA's that only use Facebook.
hell, my kid's school still uses Twitter to communicate that the busses have left.

Probably not in the sense that the average American uses the word "communist", which is more about their remembered history of authoritarian regimes of the USSR and mid 20th century China and those sorts. Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, and the atrocities thereof.
Linux is communist insofar as it is open source, and therefore less affected or tied up in capitalistic practices. Capitalists still use and contribute to Linux, but often those contributions go back into the commons of the open source code.
You probably know all that, I'm just feeling long winded.

Yup, sheer incompetence rather than malice is my guess. Meta has nothing to gain by promoting windows.

Clown show, one of the reason to not to use proprietary software

I'm running the one true distribution, SCO

Neo, The matrix has you

Are there really that many Linux users discussing on Facebook? My brothers in Open Source, there are much better places even without this ban…
-
Of course, its just an open source LLM that you can run on open source software like Ollama or LoLLMS
-
Facebook itself runs on Linux. There's a 0% chance it runs on Windows Server.

Okay that gave me a hearty chuckle, thank you.
