Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 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 sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Getting really tired of this "the fediverse needs to cater to normie interests because we're here now and it's what we deserve" attitude. If you can't find a community to click with, you can always create one, join one you don't know much about with an open mind, or don't use the fediverse if it doesn't have the content you like. Sorry to say it but you're not special and no existing users on any social media platform is obligated to go out of their way to make you feel comfortable on the platform.

    Same with the "your open source, community developed platform/client sucks! I demand you make the UX better because I the user deserve better! No I'm not going to donate to your development fund because you suck and need to be better before you deserve my money!" sentiments that I see on Lemmy more and more now. Seems like everyone just expects corporate level user experience and customer service from people developing open source software mostly for free as passion projects. Even after the numerous corporate boondoggles that drove people to the fediverse in the first place people aren't the slightest bit willing to change their paradigms regarding how social media should be run.

    Imagine complaining about Linux users instead of switching to Linux.

    Let's do it right here!
    Sway is a Wayland i3 implementation and you really should be using Wayland instead of X.

    I am a pretty heavy “Fediverse user” (Mastodon + Lemmy/Kbin) and my feeds have VERY little Linux talk. There is an incredibly diverse set of folks on the ‘verse but admittedly discoverability is hard. If the only people in your circle are Linux nerds then that’s all that might be boosted into your timeline. Put some effort into finding other folks and unfollow some of the Linux-only voices :-).

    I think it's mostly people viewing the "All"/"Community" feeds. Which I feel like you have to do in general as the niche communities haven't really gotten to a self sustaining point where you can check your "Home" feed and not run out of stuff to doom scroll.

    Not to mention that if you happened to mention certain things in communities that are tangentially related (Windows/Nintendo/Apple) then it usually starts another off topic discussion on linux/piracy/whatever.

    Honestly the linux stuff doesn't bother me as much as every topic seemingly turning into a critique of capitalism.

    Maybe people aren't used to curate their own feed anymore.
