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!

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Or you could take the time you explain your opinion.

    I'm all for duologue, but there is a voting system, its very accessible more so than typing. Don't you think this is a bit short sited and in reverse should people avoid voting in general good and bad?

    You still haven't explained why people shouldn't take "normie" as a pejorative, or why using potential insults is a good thing.

    Weird fallback, I dont see this as relevant to our discussion so I won't be explaining "why people shouldn't take "normie" as a pejorative, or why using potential insults is a good thing."

    "there’s a difference between disagreeing and being disrespectful."

    That's the point I was trying to make.

    Someone was getting downvoted for saying people shouldn't use that term.

    imho using the term 'normie' and downvoting opinions you disagree with are both rude.

    And no one in this thread has explained why I should think I'm wrong.

    If we've gone too far from the original intent, I'll say goodbye.
