The hardest part is that the solution is often: Use subpar *buntu based distro for a month or 2 then get good enough to use Arch or something based off of it.
I'm really hoping that valve's public release of Arch based Steam OS is good enough that I can just recommend that to people.
I mentally associate the concept the most with the late 2000's when Encyclopedia Dramatica (a troll wiki dedicated to making fun of people) was at peak popularity and could ruin peoples lives if an article was made on a person there. All you had to do was type in a persons name on google, and chances are their ED article was one of the first results. But then not even 2 years into the next decade, ED imploded because the site admins wanted the place to be more sterile and profitable, and they were tired of being threatened by lawsuits.
You could argue that Encyclopedia Dramatica lives on in spirit as Kiwifarms, but at this point Kiwifarms struggles to even remain online 24/7 because they managed to piss off the wrong people.
Nothing is eternal on the internet. The only way to save information is to actively back it up and maintain it.
No, bird 2 then screams at bird 1 for using Ubuntu and recommends distro that will totally work and is totally easy to use despite the lack of documentation. It's then bird 1's fault if they can't get their niche hipster distro to work.
It's about time that people understood that "Everything on the internet lasts forever" is a falsehood formed from a Web 2.0 mindset. Now those big Web 2.0 sites everyone thought would dominate the internet forever are dying, and the only thing saving what was on those websites (the internet archive) is being constantly sued by greedy publishers.
Fun fact, did you know that google deliberately makes their products run worse on browsers like Firefox so users will think the browsers are slow? Please support Firefox, it's the only real browser not based on Googles technology (like Brave is), and it's actively fighting Google's monopoly on web browsing.
The worst part is that they kind of do. From my past experience from using imageboards, a good chunk of the moronic beliefs that you see these people posting outside of 4chan/8chan/Whatever are saner than some of the absolute crackpot shit they will say when they are under the complete guise of anonymity.
I think the issue is more on lack of innovation. People ditched Skype for discord because Discord had many more features and wasn't an unusable mess like Skype was in the mid 2010s. Lemmy is literally just reddit with a few more features.
I gave it a try when I was going through my "absolute free speech" phase. I thought it was alright for a couple weeks, but after the people from "/r/coontown" came, i started to question my beliefs. Place immediately went to shit.
Bootlickers, of the communist variety. Not very nuanced people. The type of people who deny the atrocities of Soviet era countries, and some are even dumb enough to support North Korea and the current regimes of China and Russia. Some are from troll farms sponsored by those countries.
TL;DR: The lead dev is German and had no idea at the time that toot was American slang for farting, he thought it was just an elephant/mastodon noise.
Alright, but don't be such a dick about it.
Anything that isn't supported can usually be found either by flatpak or in the Arch User Repository.

Better yet, add "fediverse".

Painfully relatable.
But what if the thread is old and someone came across it from google looking for information?
I'm platform agnostic and will use whatever works best, is cross compatible, ethical, and open source.
Gotta streamline every single fucking thing!
Would be wonderful if the FCC did their fucking job for once and banned data caps. Companies like Mediacom abuse the fuck out of them
Not cool, however, I'll gladly use kbin when it has an app like gerboa that makes it much more easy to navigate.
