People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question) (discuss.online)

Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

We'll just watch from the sidelines and will be here to help you migrate once (not if) these things happen.

Would be nice if you guys could do that quietly. Not every change in how Plex does business needs to echo through social media. We'll let you know when the time comes.

I've never seen a bunch of pretentious assholes react so hard to a product they don't use so loudly. not even Linux vs Windows users are this insufferable.

then you have an actual JF developer stirring the shitpot up with posts like this.

I really don't mind them capitalizing on this, the echo chamber just makes it super annoying.

Very apt way of putting it.

Here's another meme that came to mind:

It’s like the standard ”I use Arch btw” meme, but maybe there are too many Linux users on Lemmy so these people need to find a new way to feel special.

I think the thing is, every news cycle there IS a few people who's time has come. And so jellyfin is brought up

I say this as someone who has a plex lifetime and is still using plex. I appreciate everyone getting riled up and passionate, because that means the fallback will be that much more polished when my time comes.

You sound like someone pulling up the ladder and yelling at the people below to shut up
