Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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.

    Every time this kind of post comes up, I always ask what software is only supporting discord. The response has consistently been some niche software where it's only a handful of users. The other kind is devs trying to evade Nintendo lawyers because apparently that's a thing.

    So...if you're going to post this meme, name and shame. Discord only support is bad. But I have never run into this in the wild.

    discord is totally the best thing. Anyone on the internet want to explain why I'm wrong?

    It's legit bad for certain uses like any platform, sometimes people try to use it for those things. Linuxbros don't like the idea of Discord in general regardless, for them the platform takes president over whatever people do on it, and assume that since the platform is bad anyone who uses it is stupid.

    I don't really care about the platform if it has good communities on it, and I've found a lot on Discord which I haven't found anywhere else. I'm on an electronic music production server where people share works in progress, help each other, big names in the scene use it out of genuine interest as well. I've shared my own stuff and connected with people in the scene across the world to share our project files and instrument presets etc. Don't really care about Discord though and would gladly use any platform with a community like this on it. Saying "Discord sucks" and referencing legit reasons why isn't going to convince me it hasn't been useful for passions I have offline.

    Also I've hosted a weekly dnd sesh on Discord for three years now after we went through basically every other platform through trial and error. We had no loyalty to anything and Discord has just been the one that works. Super great for organizing a campaign we run through a virtual table top platform.

    A lot of the FOSS alternatives are way better at a technical level, I use Matrix for our friend group's privately hosted chat server every day. Haven't found anything comparable to the communities I've found on Discord though.
