Comment on Why do non fans try so hard to engage with fandom?
msokiovt@lemmy.today 3 weeks agoThe Linux community, and niches inside that community, is quite infamous for gatekeeping. Because you don’t use a piece of software that other people use (for usually ideological reasons), you get attacked for it.
I would know, because I was attacked for proudly embracing the use of XLibre. I didn’t care one bit.

Is shunning people for not using Linux also gatekeeping? I feel like I get that a lot.

I wouldn’t shun people for not using Linux, as what software they use is their business. However, I will point out that if you use something proprietary, then technically, you don’t own the hardware on the OS side of things.
