    Always is with Phoronix comments.

    You find everything there from “Gnome is satanist” all the way up to pro-genocide crap.

    I really don’t know what it is about the site that brings out the craziest souch.

      For half a second there, I was like “yeah, so glad Lemmy is more rational than that site”.

      Few comments later, folks be talking about “Ukranian Nazis”…

        Hoo boy, you weren’t kidding. I find it amazing how quickly this went from “the kernel team is enforcing sanctions” to an an unfriendly abstract debate about the definition of liberalism. I shouldn’t, really, but I still am.

        Hahaha I saw the parent commentor of that chain notorious for getting into back and forth arguments, sometimes reasonable sometimes not, and I thought to myself, this is going to be fun. Then I recognized the username of that other .ml user as a known troll and I was like, yep now this is going to go way off the rails.
