Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- 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.
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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
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
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฆ๐บ๐บ๐ธ
- Comments written in other languages are allowed.
- The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
- Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
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.

MODERATORS
Are there tankies? Yes, absolutely. That being said, is the term "tankie" being thrown around way too cavalierly and dismissively on Lemmy? Ab-so-fucking-lutely.
I thought reddit was into assigning labels to people dismissively, but holy shit it's on another level here on Lemmy.
Just like how not everyone who disagreed with you on Reddit was a Nazi, not everyone who says something you dislike on Lemmy is a tankie
edit: small typo
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to communists who express support for one-party communist regimes

I see way to much stuff which fits in the "tankie" category.
in my honest and earnest opinion
I think these people are entitled to an opinion I also believe that these people are able to express that opinion but so are the hundreds of other communities that these people may not like I see some of these tankiesnot exclusively tankies
victimising some of the Christian communities here on lemmy this is an example from a little research and speaking to some these people from these communities I'm sure there's many more examplesEdit : this was on top page on ml not surprising considering its an ml domain but still
