2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. ๐ฌ๐ง Language/ัะทัะบ/Sprache

- Comments written in other languages are allowed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. ย
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

Thereโs one here on Lemmy too. I got banned this morning for sharing this post lol.
Hereโs a post from it defending Telemetry of all things.
Man that madthumbs guy is really trying to make that a thing and it's kind of sad and lonely that he's off by himself pretending he has a community...
Yeah I was just about to edit my comment to mention that. Like bro why are you here it's built on the same ethos you hate in linux.
Then why do people pretend that being 'downvoted to hell' means anything here? Why would they point and say 'echo chamber' hypocritically?
The truth is that Reddit is shady AF with their shadow bans, control of information, inconsistent rule following, etc. I'm actually trying to get more users here.
I tried on Gab. -What happens when I correct someone on Gab about Linux? -They upvote and thank me for it! A community there for "Linux sucks" served no purpose.
edit: I'm also against religion (worse cult) and didn't want to support the owner's evangelism. -But the site is ran pretty decent, and it's not bad when curated (another shady thing about Reddit is the limitation on blocking users).
I've seen a few of your posts on Linuxsucks@lemmy.world. I can appreciate a minority view and you don't strike me as hostile with other users, but many of the points you made frankly make little sense to me. Some even stike me as deranged or at least misinformed. I hope you are doing this out of passion or get some other form of genuine joy out of it. I'd hate for Linux to make ~~you~~ anyone feel miserable.
Replace reddit with Microsoft and you might get why people think you're crazy.
So do you like make all these linux hate memes yourself, or are you sourcing them from various linux hate communities?
Please please please don't brigade/harass that community!
I love it! It's like watching flat earthers. I NEED this popcorn.
I'm not quite sure it's a "community" as such - it looks like just one guy having a bit of a nervous breakdown on his own.
It's been going on for a year or two now. Is it still considered a breakdown if it shows no signs of slowing?
That's a very good point. That's a long time for someone to be that upset/ angry about something.
Is there an origin story?
๐ฟ
Lol the guy talks about linux like it's his job or special interest.
You got banned for breaking the rules. Integrity isn't common among evangelists.
There he is! Evangelism, sure. Idk man you got some weird shit going on, but you do you. ๐
If you point out any where I'm wrong, I will correct it. So far, none of the LiGNUxers are. AFAICS they work for Microsoft. It's like when I was into conspiracy theories and wondered why Alex Jones wasn't easily recognized for the controlled opposition, he is.
Oh my god not the rules!
Imagine correcting me on anything. Everyone criticizing the community has the opportunity and NEVER does. Maybe because I'm right and not deceiving people and turning them into hardened Microsoft fans.
That's a lie. The community and every post on it was locked for several months.
If you continue wasting your opportunity here, I'll just block you here too. I'm not into wasting time.
Oh no, don't threaten him with a good time.
