    So what’s going on here? Is this related to the new US administration? Or Microsoft and Meta exchanging money to silence the competition? Genuinely confused, but it seems fairly important whatever the motivations.

    Anyone else remember when the Bush administration considered people who read Linux Journal to be targeted for extra surveillance because they labelled Linux Journal an extremist forum for merely discussing the existence of Tor and Tails?

    Pepperidge Farm 'members.

    Further, anyone else remember when the Bush admin pushed Total Information Awareness, a program that was collecting the kind of information on US citizens that those same citizens give away freely to Facebook without needing to be surveilled?

    We 'member that, too.

    Discussing a specific linux distribution is not “discussing linux”.

    Linking to a post on another website about a linux distribution isn’t either.

        The linked article has a screenshot with a link to a post about openKylin getting removed. OP title is “Facebook ban on discussing Linux?” including the question mark. I don’t think it is accurate. At the same time I’m not defending Facebook in any way.

          You defending corpo censorship and also title has a question mark either way.

          If you didn’t mean to come off as bootlicker, then you need to work on that tone, “akshually”

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
