Quite the unpopular opinion, but I just wanted to post this to show the silent majority that we still exist. We have reached a point where voicing criticism against wayland is treated like the worst thing ever and leads you to being censored and what not. The red hat funded multi year long shill campaign has proven to be quite successful. Now do the same for immutable distros and every new buzzword that restricts your ability to make changes to your system and the long term plan of completely sabotaging the linux desktop will finally come true. That is all.
The paid moderators keep deleting my posts just becuase of slighly criticising red hat. What do you want me to do? Expect replies from a deleted post?
Paid moderators? Why do you think they get paid? Who do you think is paying them?
Red hat employees have infiltrated moderation teams of various forums. This has been done on reddit and now the plague has spread here too.
Do you really believe this? Red hat is paying people to shill for them on lemmy? I don’t suppose I could trouble you for some evidence of that, could I?
This is called a paranoid delusion.
Nobody. Cares.
Ah yes, everyone who disagrees is a shill. How productive.
The funny thing is, the people in the comments have done a much better job than you at providing actual arguments as to why Wayland isn’t great.
But here’s the thing about Wayland: it can and will get better. Unlike X11, the codebase of the various Wayland compositors isn’t 30 years of hack after hack making it an unmaintainable mess.
If we want to make desktop experiences that rival Windows and MacOS, we have to make these kinds of changes. If we want to adapt to changing computing landscapes, we have to make these changes.
Wayland isn’t perfect but the Linux desktop world is in a much better place with it than without it.
I want you to keep the conversation civil and to rely on evidence-based arguments and pathways.
If you find your voice silenced in a community, there are ways to build a community yourself. Freedom of association and freedom of speech dictate that no one is forced to listen though, communication happens best voluntarially. I value the work of moderators and understand the value of its remuneration - paying moderators does not equal silencing, especially on the Fediverse.
That’s a lot of buzzwords that ultimately mean nothing
