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
(…)
- no fucking swearing
- no paying for content if it can be pirated
- cats are our overlords
This is life
These are my every day rules.
Bend the knee to cats, the only true masters of humanity! (and also download a fucking car)
Even if you could download a car someone would find a way to nickle and dime you to death with maintenance and insurance. c/fuckcars! or gtfo
Edit cause I don’t know how to link communities lol. That didn’t work as intended.
Well, can I download a bicycle then?
Technically yes. There’s lots of open source plans online to build your own bicycle.
But even hypothetically a bike would be preferable to a car for everyone involved.
This shouldnt need to be said ahahahaha
I hate cats so much. It makes the internet difficult.
Boooo! Aha
I’m a half step away from being a normie and I hate it here
Future Oscar winning movie Barbie is the only permitted commercial interest on Lemmy.
And the occasional Wolf of Wallstreet plug, if we mention Margot Robbie’s nude scene
Suspiciously named user, I literally plug all of my movies on this social media platform. Except the first Suicide Squad. And Terminal.
Also, that’s esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!
Except the first Suicide Squad.
The heck? That movie’s trailer slaps hard.
Unfortunately, somebody thought it was a good idea to edit the entire movie like the trailer…
Also, Jared Leto(🤮).
that time he sent you a fucking pig carcass is so fucking deranged
Good call on Terminal. Not the call to star in it, but to pretend it never happened. Also, no need to specify between Suicide Squad and The Suicide Squad, the second one had the The in the title suggesting that it is The one that counts.
When ‘you’ win an oscar I will probably add it to the title, but thanks for the suggestion. ;)
Don’t comment on anything related to any conflicts immediately East of the Mediterranean lest you wish to be in an ad hominem “debate”.
This problem drives valuable content away from the site, unless the lurkers up/down vote based on the value of a contribution (and not their personal opinion) or the mods step in, which is still seemingly rare.
Be sure to recommend Arch based Linux to absolute newbies
Edit: this actually happened to me here
Feels like home
everytime elon musk so much as farts, it must be posted to at least 10 different communities here and discussed at length
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.
oh cool, i’ll just eliminate billionaires then, that’s pretty easy for me to do.
Hey I’m just writing the rules down, not telling you you shouldn’t be annoyed by them.
Don’t be anywhere near the center. Don’t make any arguments about corporations providing value. Don’t try to report violent tankie content. Don’t point out that lemmy is just going to end up like forums because of power mods and admins defeding people they don’t like. And don’t call piracy stealing. People really don’t like when you call them thieves.
And don’t call piracy stealing.
The companies should make it nice and easy for us to watch everything in one place, in high quality, from any device, for nice and cheap! …oh, that was Netflix a decade ago ☹️
Pretty difficult to convince the likes of minds on Lemmy to pay $100 for every streaming service in the world - to get a pretty awful experience, when you can get a much, much better experience without giving up your hard earned $$
I will fly my flag high for the free seas 🏴☠️🏴☠️🚢
I never said it isn’t sometimes deserved.
Know what you are doing and own it. You don’t like the means of distribution or price and you are stealing the right to distribution from them and very much taking money out of someone’s paycheck.
My position is I’ll pay for it within reason but at some point it’s ridiculous. Like I can’t really be bothered to pay for all of Apple TV just so I can watch For All Mankind it’s not worth it.
I go the opposite, IP is theft. All of it. Drug patents being the most harmful.
🙄👌👍
Everyone should work for free with no payoff. Got it.
I don’t believe that and I patronize content producers. I think we can find better ways to reward inventors and creators, ways that don’t just benefit corps and the politicians they pay off.
Are there other people enforcing Rule 3 or am I just aggressive enough about it that it made such an impression?
Either way, I’m pleased.
I make videos and still think they’re an unsuitable format for at least 90% of the stuff they get used for.
I see a fair few comments about this quite frequently, and I completely agree - there’s a lot of video content that is better off as a written piece. Not everyone wants to sit through 10-15 mins of video that they could have skimmed or read in 2
Send it to one of those people who make you read their life story before showing you the recipe. They’ll turn it into 30.
Please cite these rules (eg Rule #3 blah blah blah). Orherwise, I and others who werent there have no idea what youre talking about and its de facto unrelatable or insccessible
The OP lists four numbered rules.
XD, i thought it was some meme or other highly-siloed knowledge base lol. This is why I engage ;)
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
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.
LolA%€d at that

Every thread against people not strictly aligning with Leftist politics will be boiled down to: “There are three types of people: reasonable people who agree with me, crazy fascists on the other side, and lily-livered wimps who can’t pick a side (and are also secretly fascists who just won’t admit it)!”
-
Anyone with passable writing skills will be downvoted because creating cogent arguments against them is hard, and heaven forbid anyone see a smart argument that doesn’t align with their views perfectly.
-
In a similar vein, people will use the downvote as a “fuck you” button without commenting or adding any value whatsoever.
(Edit: Yes, yes. You’re all hilarious. I may not have a button to hit, but fuck you too.)
this is written like a lily-livered wimp who is anti-woke and won’t admit it
My liver may be flower-scented, but I tend to not paint situations in broad-stoke terms like “woke” that are used to dismiss valid arguments.
You can’t disprove a label (especially a vague one that someone else applies to you), however you can very much disprove points.
That sounds like some of that woke socio-commu-liberalism to me.
/s for the oblivious
Re: the silent downvoting: IMHO, it’s childish and worse than toadying as it’s both inherently cowardly and lacks any real effort at all. If I thought it would constructively improve the platform, I’d suggest a daily rationing of them, but what’s the point?
edit: D’awww, the chickenshits took the time to click. That’s adorable.
It really is the embodiment of that old joke about people never wanting to hear other people’s opinions, and only wanting to hear their own opinion parroted back to them by someone passably eloquent.
I can only assume, that these downvotes are meant as a not so smart joke.
Funnily enough, “not so smart joke” is the same descriptor I have for no-discussion downvoters.
Upvote/DownVote/Likes/Thumbs Up/Etc etc are all bullshit and have ruined online discourse by, for the majority of online interactions, gamifying and distilling it into whatever reaction the poster… on some subconscious if not conscious level, whatever will get them the most positive praise and trigger that dopamine dump in the brain.
And thats when its not just dogpiling people who are saying things that are true, but you just dont want to hear.
internet would be better if this shit never existed.
That’s a tough one, the dopamine hit is real and encourages engagement, which drives up the active userbase and makes for more opportunity for discussion.
They get abused too but a forum with none of it won’t grow in nearly the same way as one that makes use of it. People like to earn something (karma, upvotes, whatever) even if it has no tangible value.
Honestly, reddit kinda nailed it but then made it very hard to keep supporting them when they took a steaming shit on the mods and massively overpriced the api to ensure they had more control of the userbase.
Overall I don’t think they’re hurting too badly from it though and I’m sure the extra ad revenue they get from ensuring everyone uses their app helps to dry their tears. Probably a smart business decision (at least in the short to medium term), depressing as that might be.
Many comments don’t deserve any effort beyond a downvote. Whether you like it or not, it’s how the system is designed to work.
In this case I downvoted you for being a condescending piece of shit in your edit. Otherwise I probably would have ignored you and moved on.
Sorry, kiddo, but that’s not “how the system is designed to work” (you’d know this if you actually read the community guidelines, rather than just wandering in and assuming it was Reddit 2.0), and instead is simply finding a similar fate that etymological morphology suffers at the hands of illiteracy.
Swing and a miss. Next.
We’ve got a linguistic prescriptivist here! Everyone come and look at the guy who’s sick of stuff shifting over time in response to community sentiment!
Necro much? FFS, boomer.
You summarised my feelings far more eloquently than I managed here yesterday.
Downvote for you!!
But seriously, lemmy feels like more of an echo chamber than reddit ever did to me (which is saying a lot), maybe that’s because it’s an echo chamber for views i don’t agree with and reddit was more aligned to my thinking so I notice it more here, but dear god it’s getting harder and harder to stick around.
Don’t worry, bud, ive got your right wing right here, despite not being right wing, an american, a frequent voter, or anything…I just apparently am to people so delusional they think a canadian style rational socialist is a fascist.
I guess everyone is on the right when you’re on the absolute most extreme left.
Well, no, I don’t vote ndp because I’m anti union and anti gun control. I’m perhaps center right and want the national health care fixed, not privatized.
You’re missing my point bud. Everything is hot compared to something at 0 kelvin.
Everyone is left compared to the most right wing person, everyone is right compared to the most left wing person. It’s why people here often claim reddit is right leaning, despite it heavily favouring the left.
Being the most anything is rarely good, extremes prevent people seeing the other side way too often and very few subjects are 100% anything, most have nuance.
Just making a joke about why someone might accuse you of being a fascist.

Leftists famously don’t have uniform views and bitterly disagree on important topics. Some leftists aren’t reasonable in my opinion, with many non leftists having better reasoning behind their beliefs. Too many leftists are purity testing assholes, treating leftism with the same elitism that people on Lemmy treat using Linux. I hate elitism, even if you want to limit how big a community is. It’s just an unpleasant attitude.

Poe’e law states that there’s no such thing as satire, and that every post that could be considered a joke is actually a display of incredible stupidity
Judging by the responses you’re getting “be negative” is a rule.
Always refer to the whole of threadiverse as ‘Lemmy”.
(Hello from kbin)🙂
To be fair, I think this is quite understandable
Oops, my bad. Greetings, fellow fedinaut
Fed you! Aha
