  • Windows is not as hard as Linux. You’re just being silly at this point. I’m not saying Windows is better, but it is engineered from the ground up to accommodate the lowest common denominator.

    Case in point, installing a program on Windows? Double click the exe and you’re done. On Linux? It can be that simple but usually is much more involved.













  • Not the person you replied to but I also used to be a hardcore Christian convertitive.

    Honestly just talking to people with different viewpoints than me. Back when Reddit was decent I would troll with conservative BS to get a rise out of commenters, but occasionally people would reply with points I couldn’t refute. Making IRL friends helped a lot too. I realized people actually have nuance in their opinions and there’s a lot more gray area than I realized. Leaving relgion was the last step for me. Once my identity was no longer my beliefs I was able to change them.

    Its part of what scares me about the internet now, we all get locked in little echo chambers. Nobody’s viewpoints get challanged and there’s no honest debate any more. Defederated social media will only make it worse as there will be 10,000 different Lemmys, each one for an exactly specific set of beliefs that will never be questioned.
