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.

Don't be elitist. You were a noob once, and someone helped you along the way.
The more people who leave corporate platforms, the better. Punch up, not down.
New to the FOSS community, eh? π
Been here since Fedora Core 5.
The FOSS community is awesome, if you hang out on the right IRCs.
The people who voulenteer in the irc chats of the Linux mint help I talked with were so chill and helpful
Sometimes you just need to be told to βread the manualβ
The meme is poking fun at elitism.
Ah, ok. I'm a bit neurodivergent, so I sometimes miss the tone of memes.
Last sentence shows you're the real hero.
If by "someone" you mean man.
I can name 2 women right off the top of my head who helped me greatly early in my venture into FOSS.
One is an Ubuntu MOTU on the forums, and the other helps organize the Ohio Linuxfest.

That bit of context was missing from your comment. It probably would have savwd you a few downvotes if you had included it to begin with.
You already had a few when I saw the comment.
Yeah, the man pages, various forums and LUGs.
