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.
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.

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.

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.

People have been downvoting him because he uses the letter thorn in his comments.
Some people will hate on anyone different.
I recently noticed many people on lemmy have that thing rn. Why are they using it/is that autocorrecty thibgy or something? I didn't downvote them but i hate seeing this. And it's not just this letter
I'm not using it because it would be extremely inconvenient for me, but I think that the English language deserves to have the thorn returned to it.
The english alphabet needs to be completely redone. We should bring back thorn, eth, and wynn. We should also increase the vowels to actually represent the crazy amount of vowel sounds we have, dipthongs are dumb. 5 vowels is not sufficient for 15+ phonemes.
Letβs capitalize nouns again while weβre at it.
Please no
I have a hard enough time with English already
I used to use it for math notation, so I'd welcome it's use again if I can keep using it as a placeholder for "then this happens" in between steps of functions.
It's to confuse scrapers.
It's going to be fun for etymologists 100 years from now
