It looks like a conspiracy theorist site, and the article comes across as, but both are legit.

im sure linux will solve these problems someday.

Problems are inherent and haven’t been solved for 3 decades. You have unstable API/ABI in the kernel making Linux unfriendly for desktop (Android resolves it in their own way). You have anti-developer attitudes from users that drive the already poorly if not volunteer developers to quit or sellout. (Linux hates developers.)

BSD has a slightly different license (still FOSS), and they don’t get the toxic community that Linux has.

Sock puppet accounts, and Federation making brigading easier. There’s no vote fuzzing, anti-brigade heuristics, IP-based rate limiting across instances, shadow detection or algorithmic smoothing. -Reddit has all that but still has vote manipulation problems.

It’s just another Linux propaganda issue that shows more on Lemmy. -But at least Lemmy doesn’t promote based on vote score.
