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.

    I think discord is primarily just useful for voice chat, yes.

    But:

    It's a closed ecosystem that locks what would otherwise be searchable knowledge on the web, with an unsearchable, proprietary lockdown of that information.

    Yeah, no. Proprietary, sure, but you can say that about almost communication mechanism that's not a website with an API. It's not like people would otherwise be posting these things somewhere else if discord didn't exist. If it wasn't discord it'd be slack or something. Discord is an entirely different medium and complaining that it isn't a forum is just not a legitimate argument. They're entirely different things.

    They are entirely different things, but people are using it where they should be using a forum or similar solution due to its easy of use and popularity culture wise.

    That doesn't negate the reason why it's hated.

    Matrix, for example, is an open protocol for real-time messaging.

    Why are people choosing to chat in some random meme spam for actual info instead of making a reddit/forum/something indexable post like everyone always used to is what ppl don't get
