    Because Microsoft cares so much about an 18.6K-member community called “linuxmemes” on a small federated Reddit alternative known for being filled with die-hard Linux fans and furries?

      The company a corporation would hire to do that sort of thing would use a shotgun approach to the redirection postings. With bots it would be easy for them to do.

          Ah, how could I have forgotten the legion of MSFT contract employees scouring… fucking… furaffinity for that sweet, delectable anti-Linux propaganda lmao

          Because having bots backed by AI and a preset list of sites/forums to post to would be way too much of an effort and impossible to automate/do, right? /s

          (And for the record, mentioning ‘bots’ for the second time now.)

              Sure, because Linux is such a threat to Microsoft

              A smart CEO doesn’t look at just today, but looks at tomorrow as well.

              ‘Kill the baby in the crib’ is a valid option to a CEO.
