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 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
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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. ๐ฌ๐ง Language/ัะทัะบ/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฆ๐บ๐บ๐ธ
- Comments written in other languages are allowed.
- The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
- Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
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.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
ย
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.

MODERATORS
This is all entirely Michael's fault because he refuses to have anything resembling of a moderation.
Use adblockers. Never give him any of your precious money. He doesn't deserve a single penny of it.
Edit: Fun fact: Karol also stopped visiting Phoronix forums a fair bit of time ago. GEE, I wonder what caused it to happen?
Edit 2: That particular forum post is now loginwalled LMFAO
Yeah I actually am slowly realizing that I agree with that. Lots of bigots in Phoronix comment sections... and that doesn't even include the obviously psychotic rants, its just the ones that unashamedly shit on DEI all the fucking time
I feel like as long as there is money to be gained from it (be it via clicks or whatever), these people will stay.
So you gotta, in video game terms, "hit the boss on its weakpoint".
What also grinds my gears is that one guy in there who ban evaded twice, everyone else knows who they are, yet they still remain on the forums to this day. If that doesn't tell anybody that that site has a serious moderation problem, I don't know what will.
It's the Nazi bar effect
