systemd 256.1: Now slightly less likely to delete /home

Censored on YouTube

I wrote an anti-systemd comment to the following video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kzpm-rGAXos

My initial comment was quite benign. I wrote something like, "If I wanted to use systemd, I would just switch to Windows instead." To his credit, the creator of that channel, Learn Linux TV, left my comment up. A couple of people liked my comment, but a couple of people also left pro-systemd replies which were largely devoid of any facts or arguments.

I replied to the first pro-systemd comment directed at me with the headline and a link to this story. That comment was never allowed up.

A couple of weeks later, another pro-systemd commenter replied to me. Again, I posted the headline and a link to this story. I also made some opinions which I still think were not very harsh. Yet, once again, the creator of "Learn Linux TV" appears to have not allowed my comment to go up.

So then I edited my original comment which did stay up. I added an Update to my original comment where I wrote that I was being censored repeatedly. I also included the headline and link to this article (this, the third time!).

A few minutes later, and it now appears that the creator of "Learn Linux TV" deleted my whole comment thread! I did a quick search for systemd in the comments for this video; none of them say anything but good things about systemd.

I am shocked that someone who creates videos wanting people to learn Linux would be so heavy into cancelling people whose opinions he disagrees with.
