Starting on January 19, 2025 Facebook's internal policy makers decided that Linux is malware and labelled groups associated with Linux as being "cybersecurity threats." Any posts mentioning DistroWatch and multiple groups associated with Linux and Linux discussions have either been shut down or had many of their posts removed. 🤡

TBF most Linux users think Facebook is malware

Hannah Montana Linux is too powerful for them… 😂 https://image.nostr.build/49f502cbfa67fd3522133cd6aaf8494c2fd1391a38c405a2e62b608a4d16dee7.jpg

Ironic id bet sats they utilize Linux in one way or another.

They want you to switch to Nostr. 😊 Trying to nudge people away from centralized media. Just doing their part! Seriously, though, it’s funny to watch them waffle back and forth. We want to control you, but when you look elsewhere we lose advertising revenue. What to do!? It’s funny wh...

Facebook is the real malware.

I'm a complete tech retard. And not joking. Even I use Ubuntu, and just got my wife to start using Mint. I guess we're both "cybersecurity threats". 🤣

What. The. Actual. Fuck. .. and of course FB’s own services will run primarily on Linux 🤣😂

Maybe someone should mention Nostr here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42839502 😉

I don't see the logic in perceiving Linux as a threat, especially if so much of their intra id Linuc. What does FB stand to gain from this? Unless their black box AI clustered Linux FB groups with cyber security threats and auto triggered censorship without any real person at the wheel.

Wasn't there a move to freespech by Zuck? Didn't last long... Sadly, this is not unexpected. Linux has no central appstore, Linux will not support always-on monitoring and will not enforce digital IDs to use the internet. So, Linux bad,

So all of nostr is now banned from Facebook

nostrich · 72w

They should have a Nostr account.

Dont facebook servers run on linux based machines?

This is shocking and outrageous. I just can't believe that in the day and age there are still people who use Facebook. Don't they believe in Science? Facebook has been proven to have zero respect for the customs' privacy, security or preferences. Ridiculous.

Facebook depends on Linux. I don't believe they are that stupid to believe what they wrote themselves. Then again, stranger things have happened recently.

Anything less than total submission to their spyware and abusive behavior is a "threat," just like even the slightest questioning of the self-styled elite's narrative is "hate" to them.
