What are Lemmy's unwritten rules?
I’ll start. Non serious answers also welcome
- Linux (Linux)
- FOSS or die
- Video content should have been text
- Not caring a LOT about privacy makes you a non-lemmy normie
(…)
figaro, I’m a half step away from being a normie and I hate it here
Pratai, Tf is a normie?
Lemminary,
Da_Boom, 
We really need to abolish the concept of “normies” people who categorise people like that can fuck off.
Normal doesn’t exist. The definition of what normal behaviour is is too fluid among different social and age groups to fit.
Lemminary, I just don’t take it seriously and make fun of it. I think it can exist on the side for the… ahem… edgelords. lol
killeronthecorner, 
Firefox: yes.
Chrome: no.
Brave: lord no.
netchami, LibreWolf > Firefox
job3rg, Uh oh. Um… My friend uses brave. How screwed is he?
Sphks, 
Here is a link to send to your friend : bolha.forum/comment/381380
cheese_greater, (edited ) Ya that blog post was hard-R. I love I can smell the bs immediately. I like to pretend Milton from Office Space was the narrator/reader…
Edit: i do that all the time with bitchy, whiny bullcrap (like Family Guy said of Coldplay)
Sphks, That’s why I sent a link with comments and not the blogpost itself.
This comment is interesting :
bolha.forum/comment/381393
havokdj, Hold on,
You do know what hard r means right?
cheese_greater, Rockhard?
havokdj, That’s the n word brother
netchami, Just tell him to switch to LibreWolf
starman2112, 
It depends on whether he uses it despite the fact that the developer donates money to homophobic political campaigns, or because of that
Rokk, FOSS but also no ads. And don’t harvest any data to sell either.
I genuinely don’t understand where revenue streams are meant to come from for any of this software with peoples expectations.
But honestly Lemmy is so pro piracy that it doesn’t really matter if you were to charge for your product
AceTKen, 
The internet existed for a long time prior to monetization of it. People used to do things because they were good ideas, fun, or helpful.
Revenue streams made things worse.
Rokk, I think it’s a pretty bold statement to claim that the Internet today is worse than it was 20 years ago before things were being monetised.
People still do stuff just for the sake of it. To be fun, helpful, whatever. However to expect things to just be done for us out of the kindness of people’s hearts I think is bordering on entitled.
glasgitarrewelt, However to expect things to just be done for us out of the kindness of people’s hearts I think is bordering on entitled.
Yes, there are people who do that, but there are many more people in the FOSS world who don’t expect anything and instead contribute.
Focusing on the entitled people won’t make you happy, reagardless the topic.
Tattorack, 
Funny, because the Boost app I’m using shows ads on the bottom.
cheese_greater, You might need to buy it
UndercoverUlrikHD, (edited ) 
People being mad at youtube for trying to force people to pay for the insanely expensive service they are providing was/is strange to me, on a similar note.
For FOSS, it’s sort of given in the name though. If it’s not free, it wouldn’t be FOSS, and companies like Google and Facebook have permanently destroyed most people trust in ads not also being paired with data harvesting. Other than offering paid tech support, it’s difficult to find a non intrusive way to get money.
People want prefer a tiny icon in the description where the author(s) ask for donations, but don’t they dare pop up donations to ask for donations though!
cheese_greater, Nobody has a problem paying, people have a problem with Google tracking and selling off their shit
SgtAStrawberry, I don’t think those people want revenue to exist, as in everything and all should be free forever and always.
RizzRustbolt, Everyone here is old.
Tattorack, Heeeyyyy! I’m only just 30! That’s not old!
art, 
Pipe down, youngin.
Dirk, 
- Don’t have an opinion too far away from the general public.
Inui, (edited ) I
cheese_greater, Overton Window [same intonation as “Bruuuuuuh?”]
LemmyIsFantastic, Lemmy != General public
Not by a long shot.
VoidHeathen, Rule confirmed
Dirk, The general public on Lemmy.
applejacks, 
everytime elon musk so much as farts, it must be posted to at least 10 different communities here and discussed at length
AceTKen, With 400 permutations of “Fuck this clown” and “how can I block mentions of him” in the comments.
Unfortunately, shitty billionaires make the news. Get rid of billionaires and they won’t be in the news.
applejacks, oh cool, i’ll just eliminate billionaires then, that’s pretty easy for me to do.
AceTKen, (edited ) Hey I’m just writing the rules down, not telling you you shouldn’t be annoyed by them.
KISSmyOS, Billionaires should be guillotined, then eaten.
haha, just kidding 😂
…unless? 😏
instamat, I ain’t tryna eat that pasty flesh
cheese_greater, Ya but they might have eaten children so it might be softer \s
Yarra, It’s definitely softer form the piles of cash they sleep on… Or so I’ve heard
cheese_greater, I think ModestProposal aready covers this
AceTKen, We were kidding at some point?
Mr_Blott, If a post from the Linux communities pops up on your feed, it is your duty as a Windows user to comment “wELL I dOn’t HavE tHAt prOBleM bECauSE I uSe wINdOws” to stop Linux users commenting the opposite on every fucking thread about Windows
kalkulat, (edited ) 
But whatever they do they should not use the word it’s in their comment, or else we see something like itAಠ€’s … and thattAಠ€’s harder to read.
Mr_Blott, LolA%€d at that
kewwwi, 
can we be the internet community that doesn’t pretend we’re a tight knit group with injokes and ‘right’ opinions?
there’s already enough of those and I hate navigating their dumb shit.
NotSpez, Sure, that can be a new unwritten rule ;)
cheese_greater, [mutters] Curses
XbSuper, It’s a bit late for that. It’s already everywhere, and it’s terrible.
cheese_greater, Tildes is super strict against that, I got banned for making a joke about wine jelly being rendered into candy
WineGums
Banned!
Also, JAIL! Belive it or not…
sock, yeah those unwritten rules are why i hardly want to tell anyone about this site. its a bunch of comp sci nerds that finally have a platform to talk to be mildly social
and the humor is very par for course of compsci nerds. dumb, contrived, an obscure reference with a random jpeged gif in the background, etc. not funny.
cheese_greater, (edited ) I have to fight you on the
not funnytake. I disagree and my oeuvre demonstrates that to the contrary in my respectful submission
sock, (edited ) yo just your other 2 replies in this thread alone, im taking about you. youre the unfunny reddit compsci nerd.
“[mutters]”
cheese_greater, I’m sorry I don’t satisfy ur standards :P
phorq, (edited ) 42: Always know where your towel is.
43: Star Trek memes or you’re the next away mission’s red shirt.
Tattorack, I’m more of a TNG guy so I’ll be fine in a red shirt.
hitmyspot, And not on a tip to Risa. Yno what I’m sayin.
muse, (edited ) 
18: Don't feed the tankies
19: if you didn't like Star Trek before, go to Risa and count the lights till you do
Tattorack, … I count four.
Stamets, 
There are 4 of those lights. Or is there 5…
wheeldawg, Oh shit he’s starting to turn evil.
I suggest you count REALLY carefully here.
echodot, Were going to find Geordie a girlfriend if it kills us.
thanks_shakey_snake, Your YouTube link should have been a Piped link but it’s okay.
You’re free to enjoy the lemmit.online content, but don’t interact with it or you will appear confused.
Don’t stress about upvotes/downvotes-- They’re even more made up here than usual.
Never pass up an opportunity to bitch about ads, Chrome, Reddit, capitalism, Arch users, streaming services, or your favorite Lemmy client.
Do not attempt the Picard Maneuver unless you’re sure you know what you’re doing.
Tattorack, Which Picard maneuver, though?
The short jump one or the straightening uniform one?
sbv, Chrome BAD, Firefox GOOD. If you disagree, you are WRONG.
cheese_greater, Librewolf BEST
netchami, Absolutely
Tattorack, No pocket and comes reinstalled with UBO. So… Basically just Firefox but with one or two settings switched off and UBO.
… What’s exactly the point here?
kratoz29, 
If you disagree, you are WRONG.
This only applies until Chrome gets rid of the adblockers next year, if you decide to stay with Chrome I confidently think that you are wrong.
job3rg, Rule 34. Doesnt exist here
fushi01, 
Boy do I have some news for you…
job3rg, I made a quick slook. Only 1 post per month. (Unless theres more i didnt find)
Tattorack, I dunno man… There’s already someone right here in the comments with “yiffit.net” as their account…
Metal_Zealot, (edited ) 
Each community, at some point in time, has to have someone with severe a case of Main Character Syndrome make a post that refers to another post where their feelings got hurt cuz their initial post didn’t get the exact kind of attention they wanted, which then results in a total shit fit in the comments.
I’ve seen it happen numerous times in my short time on Lemmy. Especially on !memes.
People need to learn how to just suck it up and move on ffs. I swear it’s the r*dditard mentality leaking in here.
Tattorack, Reddit has this too. Especially on subs with younger audiences… Or really old entitled audiences.
