Context for the unaware, Deepin Linux is a popular (from what I can tell) Chinese distro, and it’s often given significantly more scrutiny and negative attention than other non-Chinese distros, for exactly the reasons you’d expect
Good ol’ Linux community once again (though god, I swear the Lemmy ones outside of here are even worse lol)
At least there’s some upvoted comments pointing out the absurdity and racism, but there’s also plenty of upvoted ones with the typical “those durned Chinese committed the highest of crimes by reposting an image on Twitter!! They’re all dirty thieves!!” and assuming that Deepin (a unique Linux distro with their own entire original desktop environment) must be some cheap knock-off without having even seen it
This post itself is mid, the comments even suggest that it’s mid. Yet it still has nearly 1k upvotes. This is an apparent contradiction. Has /r/Linux been infiltrated by propaganda bots and agents?
At least the mod is still based
Yeah that’s especially what got me about that post, it was so blatantly garbage and everyone was calling it out and yet it got an absurd amount of upvotes that isn’t even typical for the subreddit
