Saw a post without noticing the community and commented a genuine comment with good intentions.
Apparently it was against the rules of that community and I was banned.

My (removed) comment:
And yeah, the last comment was sarcasm.
I just don’t really understand why is there a community for shitting on Linux? Like I can get not liking it, and hating the Linux die hard fans, but it really is an amazing thing that is integral to almost all modern computing… Kind of like hating social media by having a facebook page for it.
Pretty accurate meme though.
That whole community is just one guy posting memes. Some are funny but mostly its just odd how much he hates Linux.
Whatever :)
Hummm… Guess you’re to sensible? I mean I’m die hard linux lover for 3 years now and will never switch back to Windows… EVER!
However, I found some of those posts quite funny !
Some of them are funny indeed
It’s like going to a vegan community saying “meat isn’t so bad”. You’re obviously not going to get good responses.
Relevant discussion: !Linuxsucks@lemmy.world mod silently bans people from their community for disagreeing, and tries to hide the comments from being seen in the modlog.
Wow 😲
Yeah. I found that post after I, too, was banned.
I read it as a jokey community and maybe you took it too seriously. Regardless that’s a kinda silly comment to leave. That’s a community for, ironically or seriously, hating Linux, so obviously it’s not in the spirit of the community to leave a serious comment defending Linux.
I see a lot of Windows hate on Lemmy. If someone made a post here complaining about how much they hate Windows, and a Windows fan replied explaining why Windows is so great, I would say it’s kinda heavy-handed but not totally ridiculous for a mod to ban them, since a Linux community is probably not for this person.
Tech people are always sensitive and unfair. You should get used to it or start seriosly fighting them if you’re not afraid of getting in a legal trouble. As someone already said, it’s probably good that you got banned because the community could hurt you more. Trust me, you don’t want to get banned on a community you’ve spent years and made friends on.
I’m not sure if it’s related but there was an annual symposium called “Linux Sucks”. It was a gathering of mostly Linux developers. The idea was to find the ways Linux sucks and develop ideas to fix the suck.
Nah, this seems like a community to dunk on Linux
So: you posted a serious contribution in an unserious community, and got treated unseriously. It’s not very newsworthy.
As for that community’s existence, why is that even up for discussion? As a Linux user I’m happy for people to say what they like about Linux. If the jokes are funny, all the better.
I use Ubuntu btw and it doesn’t suck. Well, not that much.
I don’t think it’s a joke community, it seems to just be about hating Linux and not allowing any Linux positivity or praise
And so what? Why are you so bothered by it? I’m a Linux user of 20 years and I couldn’t give a fig that someone is running a forum called LinuxSucks which, unsurprisingly, contains little “positivity or praise” for Linux.
I mean… This is a site for posting things, and I posted a thing. Trust me, this isn’t the highlight of my day or something that deeply bothers me
Good to know.
Nope, I just checked. Apparently, you can’t say anything good about Linux. Seems like a useless waste of time but, whatever. If I got banned from that site I would consider it a blessing.
As light rises, so does darkness to meet it
