    Nice report for “astroturfing”. Please go ahead and point out which rule was violated so I can make a decision.

      Leave it, tos 8 covers my point and yes its a case of my butthurt but its a recent pattern across communities in lemmy atm that seems to have started a nasty attempt thats trying to grow a grassroots campaign, this may not be one. Just reporting for your sake and others to raise awareness based on some social controversy in the distro. We should be lifting distros (and people) up not burning them for fake reasons

        I don’t see how this might be interpreted as misinformation (8) or any attempt to do harm (8.1) either to a prospective user or Nix itself. Nor do I see how this might be an attempt made or supported by the Nix developers to influence the greater community. If you have evidence to the contrary, produce it.

        There is no denying that a vocal group of people are promoting immutable/atomic distributions, or that many are fans of Nix’s declarative configuration solution. Still, that makes it no worse than the people who are pushing back against the adoption of Rust in the Linux kernel, or the proliferation of systemd services, or the adoption of Wayland over X11.
