Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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!

    Lemmy is so weird. Some of the memes make me think that average audience here is 15 yrs old, but then there is the occasional post like this which only 70 year old ancient wizards will understand.

    Growing up doesn't mean we stop finding a well timed fart funny. It means 70 years of memories is still tickled by a crude punchline. Old people and young people have the same sense of humor but slang causes transmission errors.

    I resent that. I’m 38 and I distinctly remember this. RedHat 4.2 (Manhattan) circa 1997 I think. That was when I started messing with Linux.

    How do you have to be 70 years old to understand this?

    I bet half of people surfing right now on ** r/all** wouldn't.
