What is an acceptable community?
linuxmemes
Hint: :q!
Sister communities:
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 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.
Let's pretend "a software" doesn't sound as stupid as "a traffic".
I'm going to make a project and, "Join our IRC community @ Rizon"
we have a discord and a matrix server bridged to it
I hate discord as much as anyone else but it's where most people are already going to have an account. People don't want to create brand new accounts to ask a single question. That question will just not get asked, The question could be asked on Reddit which may or may not end in a good result. It could take hours, weeks or even days. Discord is already there, and if a discord community is large enough you may get a fast and knowledgeable response. I can see why people like discord, I just don't see any better alternatives or something that is as convenient.
If you ask me (you don't, but anyway) I'd prefer creating a new account. Discord is a bit weird in a way it provides transparent account and I am annoyed by the fact that I have no control over it. Now that I think about it, I could just create several discord accounts and join servers with the appropriate one, i.e. work, gaming, personal, etc. But I would much rather prefer to have more flexibility with settings
I think most of the problematic toxic mods from Reddit have started infecting Discord too. It's been getting worse lately.
Know any good Autistic communities in Matrix? I'm in the market, I love mine but it's in Discord and they ain't moving.
