Sister communities:


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!

    I actually like Linux, but I'm considering just blocking all the Linux communities because it's so incredibly boring to just see you guys circle jerking all day long. We get it. We all get it.

    My guy, you are on linuxmemes lmao

    I came here hoping to see gnome and X11 memes. You know, actual Linux memes.

    Instead I found "Windows bad" circlejerking.

    Distros and package managers are bad. Reject modernity, embrace compiled source. Burn Lennart Pottering at the stake!

    No, I'm on All, but a far higher percentage than most other content is just the same message in slightly different words on repeat, "Linux good, Binbows bad."

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Binbows isn't that bad, it's Michaelsoft as a company we should worry about.

    But have you heard the latest hilarious thing? Windows... BAD! Hahaha! My goodness, I'm sure you never could have imagined. Also, I use Arch, in case you were wondering.

    I mean just go ahead and block it, why make this rant at all, if you are seeing it on All its because of the amount of Linux users on Lemmy.

    [–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I mean, I've got a 75% upvote ratio right now, so perhaps I'm not alone in thinking it's a bit excessive?

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    And whats the point? Should all Linux memes communities close so that you don't see them in All? Should people stop making Linux memes at all? What are you achieving with your rant? You don't like it. We get it. You and that 75% can block the community and move on.

    I did. Go outside and breath for a bit, the weather is nice today.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Ah yes, this is literally the first time I visit Lemmy today after uni and the first post I see on All and that I interact with in more than a week but I am the one that has to go outside, not the person that apparently spends all day on Lemmy, so much so that is tired of seeing Linux memes on its feed. Have a nice day as well, and I truly mean it.

    I don't know your life story, I only know you got pretty riled up over nothing at all on the Internet, by a strangers comment. Usually a good sign you need to take a break and relax.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Bro stop the virtue signalling, you got triggered by memes.

    [–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Are triggered and annoyed synonymous? I'm not angry or anything, so triggered doesn't feel like the right word, but if it fits, sure I'm hella' triggered bro.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    You are bothered by Linux memes and now acting like you're not bothered. I'm sorry to be rude, but I hope your kernels remain closed source.

    [–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

    Wildly rude even, for no reason. Scumbag behavior.

    Then why are there so many Windows memes? :^)

    So like, you browse All, find communities minding their own business making little in-jokes, and pop in to say "hey assholes, I don't appreciate you talking about all this stuff you like talking about! How about you shut up so I don't have to skip past your posts when I'm deliberately skimming everything!"

    Seems fair.

    [–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

    Yep, that's what I said, verbatim.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

    Why we don't have any server side memes yet, probably there is some non-windows meme material there.

    "So regarding these security vulnerabilities... We see that RHEL 5 is no longer supported, so what is your plan to get support..." So basically you're telling me you walked into a giant ravine without ever realising it for almost a decade and now you ask me if you could get some support to assemble your now tiny fragments back into working order?
