- 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
sudoin 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
Is this homophobic? I get this is some kind of absurd joke about linux making someone gay. Or about the absurdity that anything could make you gay. But it still works on both levels and perpetuates the idea of it being a choice, or infection or symptom, and also that femboys are somehow ridiculous.
Or maybe I just don't get the joke?
Being a femboy doesn't mean you have to be gay. Being a femboy means that you like to express yourself as a feminine. This means that you may wear clothes associated with females, use makeup or wear jewellery.
This joke may originate from 4chan's /g/ board. There's a lot of very talented people on there that cross dress or are trans. I can confirm they are NEETs, though.
what is NEETs? looked it up, but what I found didn't seem to fit the context of the sentence
Not Employed, ^in Education ^or Training
Lemmy formatting a little different from reddit. For superscript, you need carets on both sides.
Not Employed, ^in^ Education, ^or^ TrainingTurns into
Not Employed, ^in^ Education, ^or^ Training
If you are using a Lemmy ap that did the formatting, please tell the devs. Basically none of the aps seem to do formatting correctly, and should be fixed.
Hmm, thanks, but that makes me rather suspicious. 4chan is notorious for spontaneous social engineering campaigns for "shits and giggles". And at best they are chaotic neutral.
That's the /b/ and most recently /pol/ boards. Very few campaigns come from other boards. /g/ is the "technology" board.
I don't think it's meant to be like that. In fact I don't think it's that deep.
I think for the cases where the meme actually holds true it's a mixture between "hey I like this thing I didn't know before (linux), what else may I like?", being more likely to inform themselves about topics and probably also a community that is becoming more welcoming with the memes that eventually people try to explore themselves and figure out that they were something they didn't know they were.
If that makes any sense. They could also be unrelated and it simply happens to be that a lot of needs are also queer
