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. 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.

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.

You clearly don't have Discord.
I think the devs know at this point people are gonna keep using it no matter what for the foreseeable future.
How else are you gonna talk to you friends? You really wanna be "that friend" who forces everyone else to download another program and make a new account?
They'll only fix issues if it shows up on a financial report.
I'm literally that friend! Just yesterday I set up a mumble server (it's called murmur!) purely out of disgust towards discord.
I've already made a Matrix account and talked to a few of my more paranoid friends about switching over.
But most of my gaming buddies are mostly content putting up with Discords shit for now.
The issue with matrix is it's unreliable. Text works, because it doesn't really matter if it arrives a minute or so late. Everything else kind of really sucks. The inability to decrypt my chats on all devices every now and then just straight up pisses me off. And they're not newly added devices - all of them have been signed into at the time of messages getting delivered!
That shit has so incompetent devs that they're updating the fucking .deb file instead of using the internal updater to push every update.
An entire update used to be something worthy, now it's all worthless.
That's all handled by Electron, which doesn't support the auto updater on Linux.
https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/auto-updater https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/1138
Though I don't know if discord uses this specifically or rolls their own. Discord seems to auto update just fine until it's time for a bootstrap update.
Ok but why so many bootstrap update when the most basic shit like "screen sharing with audio" is broken?
There's a secret json option to disable bootstrap updates. The flatpak turns this on.
Lol .... I never update it until I need it because I noticed it is perpetually updating. I only ever use it maybe one or twice a month so I don't update it until I actually want to use it.
