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 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!

The fediverse is still being monitored, though... Everything we comment and post here is freely available to anyone interested for any purpose.
That's how public websites work...
Yeah, I just wanted to point it out. There should be a CCTV camera in the bottom pic too.
You're not forced to link your account with your real identity in fedi.
AFAIK neither are you on reddit or other platforms
YouTube does depending on the content you upload I had to validate my own documents with Google because a small animation I had posted had made use of copyrighted stuff, and when I went to edit it to remove the copyrighted music, it kept nagging to "validate who I am"
That's highly dependent on the instance admins.
Its not. Everything is open. You don’t even need an account to see the content.
No, it does depend on instance admins for how it is used. Viewing Mona Lisa doesn't make every tourist its owner.
I um… what? We’re discussing privacy and external monitoring. Ownership is irrelevant. I think you might be crossing discussions, but just look at the OC.
Much of the spying on people is done for monetary gains, which would be illegal if the platform doesn't sell the rights to the content.
E.G. Reddit sold comment usage rights to OpenAI for $60,000,000 USD.
Phew! I’m so glad you told me that, because we know no company or individual ever did anything illegal. DuPont hasn’t poisoned the whole planet, and OpenAI didn’t admit stealing content is the only way their business model can work.
If they could steal everything with no repercussions then they wouldn't be paying for the data,
