It'd be even better if all these subreddits indefinitely go dark. As someone who grew up using the "old" internet with Usenet newsgroups and mailing lists for discussions, I am happy that decentralized way doing things might be adopted again.
Awesome. The Linux community should be among the vanguard of this whole effort given our philosophy.
Honestly I've only been on Lemmy for a few days and I don't anticipate going back to Reddit. I'll probably use Reddit for IT help queries periodically but that's it. I like Lemmy quite a bit more.
even better: post links to your IT help queries on lemmy to reddit.
i don't think i could really care less.
lemmy is just really exciting!!
r/linux_gaming and r/kde as well
is there an /r/gnome yet?
Just uninstalled the 3rd party Reddit app I have on my phone.
This is great! 😆
Thanks /u/spez!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
