Saw a post without noticing the community and commented a genuine comment with good intentions.
Apparently it was against the rules of that community and I was banned.

And yeah, the last comment was sarcasm.
I just don’t really understand why is there a community for shitting on Linux? Like I can get not liking it, and hating the Linux die hard fans, but it really is an amazing thing that is integral to almost all modern computing… Kind of like hating social media by having a facebook page for it.
It’s like going to a vegan community saying “meat isn’t so bad”. You’re obviously not going to get good responses.
Deciding Linux isn’t for you is one thing. Even deciding that you hate Linux is… Digestible. But what kind of internal self esteem and validation issues do you need to unironically participate in a community called “Linux sucks”?
Hating Linux is one thing. Putting in extra effort to justify to everyone that Linux is hate-able is a different kind of crazy.
So: you posted a serious contribution in an unserious community, and got treated unseriously. It’s not very newsworthy.
As for that community’s existence, why is that even up for discussion? As a Linux user I’m happy for people to say what they like about Linux. If the jokes are funny, all the better.
I use Ubuntu btw and it doesn’t suck. Well, not that much.
I don’t think it’s a joke community, it seems to just be about hating Linux and not allowing any Linux positivity or praise
And so what? Why are you so bothered by it? I’m a Linux user of 20 years and I couldn’t give a fig that someone is running a forum called LinuxSucks which, unsurprisingly, contains little “positivity or praise” for Linux.
I mean… This is a site for posting things, and I posted a thing. Trust me, this isn’t the highlight of my day or something that deeply bothers me
I read it as a jokey community and maybe you took it too seriously. Regardless that’s a kinda silly comment to leave. That’s a community for, ironically or seriously, hating Linux, so obviously it’s not in the spirit of the community to leave a serious comment defending Linux.
I see a lot of Windows hate on Lemmy. If someone made a post here complaining about how much they hate Windows, and a Windows fan replied explaining why Windows is so great, I would say it’s kinda heavy-handed but not totally ridiculous for a mod to ban them, since a Linux community is probably not for this person.
