It’s the same as with Linux, GIMP, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. Some people are so used to their routines that they expect everything to work the same and get easily pissed when not.

Which makes Karen behaviour even worse and incomprehensible but most people are humble and don’t care to much about some minor problems and a little learning curve
the slight technical competency needed to navigate the fediverse might help keep low-quality users away and mitigate the “summer reddit” effect.
Oh God I hope so ha ha
I’m hoping the same lol

I don’t know what “Karen behavior” means; could you explain?
A “karen” is a person who comes across as entitled and demanding, beyond the scope of what is generally accepted.
A Karen is a (mostly female) person who demands special treatment for no specific reason, who permanently feels mistreated and set back compared to others and someone who always wants to talk to the highest available employee in expectation this person would take her side and take inappropriate measures against the one that “did her wrong”
I’m always struggling to find appropriate words to explain what a Karen is and often fall back to a video as an explanation. Your definition is quite accurate and simple. I will keep it in mind.
Okay. I don’t see how that stereotype relates to Lemmy or FOSS, though?
I’ve seen some very demanding posts asking for this or that feature completely missing out on the fact that
a) Lemmy is written by people in their free time and
b) hosted on servers paid by individuals or through donations.
Imho it seems not uncommon to take the free part of FOSS for granted but still expecting to be treated like a paying customer.
People easily forget what they’ve already got and want more, that’s were I see this stereotype.
