Sister communities:
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
sudoin 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
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. π¬π§π¦πΊπΊπΈ
- 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. Β
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.

No, I am the fire department for my family who're currently moving over to Linux and are already fed up with the communities' toxicity and unhelpful nature in most corners of the internet. And I can't blame them, it's an awful experience. The self-righteousness you're putting on display with your comment is part of the problem.
You sound completely insufferable.
Just criticizing a toxic culture that causes systemic problems. It's both sad and funny you still think I'm the one with the problem though.
Please don't think your state of mind is normal.
Did recognizing yourself as part of that toxic community piss you off?
Good.
Wow, people like you really should be banned from Linux communities for beginners. You're a detriment to them.

Tim Apple will sell you computers. If you don't want to know how a computer works you probably shouldn't use Linux.
Spoken like someone who doesn't want widespread adoption of Linux.
Oh and if you're the IT guy then you should probably just get used to the idea of supporting a mixed network. Windows, Mac, Linux can all live in harmony but don't expect "users" to do User things.
