People that get off having mod powers or people that want to push a particular message... 😕

Exactly. You can't do anything. You are at the mercy of the mods. If they have massive bias for something, the entire sub has massive bias.

It's more like content steering, yes. But from the perspective of someone that frequents a thread, it's shadowy. All the content vanishes and remembering the usernames that commented, so I can look up what was removed, is just not practical.

It's really bizarre and sadly dystopian.

That's the thing, you have to frequent particular threads to notice, but for your own posts, you can see the mod reasoning, if they are given. Most of the time there is no reason given, but every now and then there's a one word response that is clearly them not understanding words or pushing their own political ideas. And by doing that they've created echo chambers for entire subs. It's disgusting.

In Reddit at least there is a big notice posted in the comment if they are removed. In Lemmy, they just prune everything so it looks like everyone agrees with the mod.

And here I was almost convinced by peoplesdispatch.org /s

I see a lot of clueless interpretations of openSUSE in this thread. Like any other distro, you have to learn how it works. Most people here don't want to bother and keep arguing that it doesn't work like Arch, etc. Well, it's not Arch... duh.

Of course, by now, you've realized that the defaults are good and it's very stable. Unlike other rolling distros, it rarely breaks from an update because every release is automatically tested. BUT, issues do arise with the repo NVIDIA drivers, which don't always get built fast enough to work with newer kernels as they are released. It's not a big deal because you only need to wait ~1 week, but surprisingly, the maintainers don't preemptively address it. Also, codecs can be problematic because, like the NVIDIA repo, they lag behind and take time to catch up to the OSS repo. Annoying, to be sure, but if you are using flatpaks, it doesn't matter.

And this is probably a shocker to most people here, but you don't have to install Yast. I don't use it at all. The catch is that you must learn something new and how to hold back certain packages.

Really? They also once had a hydroelectric dam. Just don't post...

Am I up voting? This app doesn't have a feature that shows it 😂
