The rabid amount of Linux fanboyism on Lemmy is quite off putting in general. Any conversation about Microsoft gets brigaded with “Just use Linux!” even if the conversation has nothing to do with it. It makes it a pain to have any decent discourse about things.
Think people who got on lemmy originally lean techy (and thus more likely to use linux and be passionate about it), and people who joined after the IPO thing have more diverse reasons for abandoning reddit.

It’s just that naturally on a libre Fediverse platform, people are gonna have higher tech literacy than the average populus.

Lemmy pretty much converted me from Windows to Linux within a year of API-gate.
Well yeah, people that are seeking out an open decentralized platform are more likely to not be fans of a closed centralized operating system.
