- 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, 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.
5. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache

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.

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
Thanks for the exchange, it seems you misunderstood my intentions in commenting/responding.
I will stand by my points: corporate policy and course of action isn't always by the book β it can be unevenly enforced (depending on the circumstance, environment, and context).
As for me? I'll never work for Nazis or in environments ruled by people roleplaying as Nazis. It's demeaning.
The cool thing is that you can have better security without such an atmosphere β and I described it: it starts with locked-down systems and networks, IT actually being approachable human beings that communicate (who also understand business needs and requirements), policies that only punish and target bad actors (because it is effectively impossible for good faith actors to violate them), and accessible procedures for employees to escalate their needs to IT.
Anyway, have a good one. I apologize for being slightly rude with my phrasing, but I truly am aware of how draconian some environments are (especially depending on the context) and it was rude of you to confidently assert that I had no idea.
No problem. It was mostly hypothetical worst case scenario anyway. It would be nice if understanding, workplace improvements, and overall security where the targets everywhere, but unfortunately that's not always the case. It's also easy to lose the point in an online discussion, sorry about that.
