- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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.
- 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
sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
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.

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.

MODERATORS
it's the "Reddit hivemind" when a large group shares their opinion that your OS of choice has many flaws, but a large group of people defending their poor choices in OS is...not "hivemind" mentality?
it's amazing honestly, the amount of mental gymnastics we go through to protect our fragile egos because we honestly believe a corporate product will somehow enrich our lives to the point that they will suck less.
if only we could get past this and objectively look at the tools as tools and be able to have an open discussion about why they suck.
but no...let's keep denigrating each other so that our side will come out victorious.
in another post I triggered the whole community so much that a mod had to step in, the irony of my commentary completely lost on everyone. it would be amusing if it weren't so sad that there's so much useless emotion wrapped up in this argument.
Bro responded to a joke with a thesis paper.
sick burn bro. idk how my ego will ever recover.
I honestly don't even know what your point is.
Op is saying they dgaf and will use what they want. It's a boring, uninteresting post with minimal value, but I definitely don't understand your issue with it.
so the generalization of everyone who says "Ubuntu sucks" up into a "Reddit hivemind" is a complement now?
who knew!
Oh that's what you're butthurt about? Lol
