For the record I was posting in support of inclusive language, but pointing out that context and convention matter.

They seem to have even scrubbed my comment from their instance, lol.

    I got banned from lemmy.world/c/linuxsucks, which is one person’s mental illness, so who cares? Doesn’t stop me from calling them an idiot when they show up elsewhere.

        That user showed up in the thread warning about someone spreading fud about Wikipedia to attack OP. Safe to say, whoever they are, they have multiple accounts for their obsessions.

      Linux is the expression of the collective mental illness of thousands of mentally ill computer hobbyists.

        Just because I am mentally ill mean doesn’t mean I use Linux. I mean I do use it, but not because I’m mentally ill.
