Lemmy has become a weird place. You’re being downvoted for being 100% correct. I have the same problem, I need Windows to use a similar suite of programs.
Yesterday, I had a similar experience, I was giving information that was 100% correct, and getting downvoted, while the other person was spreading factually false information that fitted the narrative of ‘all companies and non FOSS bad’, and guess which side the community supported.
Might be time to just go back to Reddit if the lemmy community is just going to actively support and reinforce anything that fits the hivemind narrative that is appearing regardless of truth.
