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
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
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. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. π¬π§π¦πΊπΊπΈ
- 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. Β
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 don't understand the humor of hearing about something that seems to be a coincidence, and then hearing a separate example that is overtly terrible in the same way?
No, I don't even know what you're talking about. I've engaged in this for too long already if you're not going to explain whatever the heck you were talking about. I think you're also getting downvotes because others don't know what you're talking about either.
I literally just explained it to you. I'm not being cagey. I think you must be used to not getting jokes, so I'm not sure why you're blaming me.
I would say based on the votes nobody knows what you're talking about. But yeah, go ahead and be condescending for some reason. Enjoy it I guess.
Hey. I'm sincere when I say this: I think we sometimes get into the unfortunate habit of gloomscrolling, just incessant negative news- that when we stumble into another community, we go in a bit "on-edge". Please don't think they're out to harm you. I've gotten upset by TheOnion more than my fair share of times. Also, toast rocks.
Downvotes are meaningless, except to give me a list of usernames who don't know how to participate in adult discussions. I don't have much in the way of respect for people who take stock in them. Donald Trump got the most votes in 2024, and it doesn't mean anything except that tens of millions of people made a poor decision when voting.
