    The gatekeeping I was referring to is giving people shit for being weebs, furries, etc. etc. Feels skeezy and moralistic. One of my favourite things about the Linux community is how openly eccentric so many people are. Even if it isn’t my aesthetic it’s way less contrived than the bland wastelands that corporate culture generates.

    It wasn’t really relevant to your question, but you do you, weeb OP.

        Linking to upstream source instead of copying answer that will be outdated is neither gatekeeping nor “RTFM toxicity”
