I changed friends to mainly the ones here on lemmy, specifically the german communities, and I was surprised that there's an actual kinda cult here, just by the germans/ich_iel'ers, with it's own community, and also a lot of members in Matrix. So I didn't really see people switch to arch, but rather I changed friends to the much more nerdy type where arch is more common.

Well ... I moved away from the okay ones and was finally able to drop the right-conservative (with straight up proud nazi friends) "friends", which I basically had to have because otherwise I would have been literally alone in school. And so I searched for new friends, either online on Lemmy/Matrix or offline, in uni.

holy crap. I can't imagine actually knowing someone being public about nazi stuff. There were folks with like confederate flags but it was a little after the dukes of hazard and I don't think they had the meaning to it that has resurfaced in this millenium.

I couldn't believe that either, until I met that person. I'm just glad they were in the grade below me, so no direct contact.
