I’m new as in this is my first day using lemmy. I don’t know anything about lemmy etiquette and don’t want to do anything bad
thanks and have an amazing day! also plz be kind :D
You can say anything, but always better to have an account on two or three politically different instances in case you want to critisize USA, China, or any controversial thing in the world.
But if you ain’t an asshole, you’re welcome! Have a nice journey into the fediverse!
All the lurkers said hi!
Sometimes I’ll call you a dumbass, but if I do, you were probably being a dumbass.
So when I came here from Reddit I didn’t know what to pick, so I picked .world figuring it would be bigger or something. Over time it seems like people are saying that .ml is just horrible. I actually thought that .ml stood for militant full of right wing tankies ( don’t know the exact definition of that either). Lately someone essentially berated me for being on the worst one. Just now, I went to the little pull out on the side to see how to change it and what the options were and didn’t even see how to do that.
Bottom line, I have no clue how any of this works. I just wanted to see some interesting content, news from a different perspective, some fun memes, and some cool comments. I don’t even understand what fediverse means other than it’s kind of like borg technology, meaning that the information is spread across a bunch of servers instead of a single point of failure.
Maybe one day I’ll look into all of this, but seriously I have a life. As long as I open it and get what I want, I’m good. I almost never post because they are almost always removed for violating some rule. The last time I posted a question on a Linux forum and was getting some really good answers only to have it removed for violating a rule I didn’t even understand. LOL.
Good luck to you.
Unless it’s a meme reference (lol same) comments are generally more thought out and well constructed, as you can see from the replies here.
Less bots.
Fewer bots.
The same number of grammar arseholes though.
I can’t decide whether to upvote or downvote this, but I think I like you.
Fewer grammar arseholes on Reddit because the bots don’t make grammar mistakes
*assholes
;)
We aren’t all yanks, you know.
You’re not on reddit, so you can call them grammar Nazi’s here.
Post frequently. Comment frequently. Make some friends/acquaintances. Try to remember that the folks making posts and comments are generally human (more so than on reddit). Try to be kind. Don’t pay too much mind to inter-instance drama unless it’s in a light-hearted and fun way (it’s simply not worth it otherwise), or has a real impact on your experience (in which case use the blocking tools). If someone named Nicole PMs you ignore it and maybe let your instance’s admin team know.
I’ve been here for two years now. It’s generally a great group and I’m happy I joined the API-ocolypse migration from reddit. Welcome! :)
I don’t mean this rudely, but there are a lot of autistic IT nerds on here who are trying to be helpful, but come off as know-it-all and rude. If you keep that in mind, it’s a nice place.
That’s an offensive stereotype. Some of us are autistic humanities nerds who are trying to be helpful, but come off as know-it-all and rude!
If you haven’t already then you need to switch to Linux
Working on it lol.
Dad doesn’t want to switch to linux, because “his files” or something (libreoffice and ddg??? he uses ddg on some devices already and libreoffice is like free ms365) so if I get Frankenstein the Floor Computer running, yes, I will linux (I plan on dual booting mint/arch, but not being toxic about it)
Then keep reminding everyone you use Arch.
this, but unironically.
Don’t forget GrapheneOS and Jellyfin! Anything else you can think of? It’ll be a lot easier if they can convert everything in one go.
But only some distros should be used !
“Some people say Ubuntu is for beginners because they like to feel superior. I also say Ubuntu is for beginners because I like to feel superior” - Programmers Are Human
Arch
Debian
Mint
NixOSDid I miss any?
I have seen a video on that. I am not a 40y/o discord mod lmao (/j)
(no longer /j in this part) I’ll try arch, and if I’m really that bored, I might try it, but it looks like something I don’t want to get caught dead with for the next few years.
It looks like silly fun, but as they say on their own page, they don’t recommend it as a daily driver, specifically because it was designed with humor in mind, not maintainability.
Could be worth spinning up in a VM or giving away on an old laptop, though…
or messing around with for fun! (I’d break the os, and reinstall mint probably)
Peak
Reserved for .blahaj
only a few hundred
I knew there’s thousands of distros, but didn’t ever think about it that hard or visualize it, that’s a lot now that I can see it!
Qubes OS
It took me like 5 years before I figured out Miley Cirus, Hannah Montana, and Taylor Swift were three different people.
Oh, I might have upvoted this comment, but it’s only so I can come back with my army of Swifties,.Ciruses and Montanas to downvote you to the shadow realm.
/s that was awesome
I stand corrected, lol.
TempleOS and Miley Cyrus Linux
I’m currently running KDE Linux and I must admit I like it ! The immutable system feels weird but kinda safe. But the lack of Midnight Commander is a shame ! And I guess the not working transparency in yakuake is due to it being coded for X11.
I thought KDE was a DE, not a distro? (I’m definitely wrong and offending someone, aren’t I?)
They are launching an immutable distro, it just got released in beta. Still new stuff. But it being based on the latest and greatest of KDE, I was automatically attracted.
im not even sure what reddiqutte was.
it was a part of reddit until the the digg exodus. after that it stopped being relevant. so it was only relevant in the first 5 years of the site really.
Shitting on someone’s opinion that differs from yours.
at first I was like. wtf. where did that come from. then I got it.
Lemmy is like an unintuitive, user-unfriendly reddit. And everyone likes it that way. I’m not leaving bc i want to support open-source shit, but I’m hoping it gets more user friendly someday.
just don’t be homophobic, transphobic,or sexist and you’re a-okay with me <3
NEW KID!!! GIVE HIM A WEDGIE!!!
Noogie
Then tell them they’re part of the gang and to join everyone else as we go wedgie and noogie the next new guy
The community can mostly feel like it was skimmed off the top layer of ornery “erm, aktually” types from Reddit. The etiquette here is what you would expect from that. The days of “remembering the human” are dead and buried.
Like all places online, people and sub-communities vary, but that’s mostly the vibe I get whenever browsing the comments of just about anything that hits my instance’s All page.
I’ll take it any day over dealing with Reddit Inc’s chicanery, I guess.
Don’t be a jerk and you will be fine.
We are all mostly human here. Just remember that. Hope you have a great time on the fediverse!
