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!

    They in fact do not. One can be conservative and support FOSS. Saying that is a over generalization

    [–] Cowbee@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    Leftism is about collective ownership of the means of production, whereas Capitalism is concerned with individual ownership.

    Supporting FOSS over Capitalism is a leftist take.

    I don't think you understand what FOSS is. Its not a political ideology. Honestly neither is communism as it is a fringe belief.

    [–] Cowbee@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    FOSS isn't a political ideology itself, no. That's like saying Mutual Aid or Worker Democracy aren't political ideologies. Technically correct, but that wasn't the point, all of those are leftist structures.

    Communism is a political ideology, and I don't think it can be globally considered fringe. Perhaps in the US, but not globally.

    Well anyways I don't think it should be allowed in this community. This isn't a communist community.

    Everything is political, where do you draw the line? Where it doesn't align with your views?

    [–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Well I don't like it so it shouldn't be here.

    tell me you're a conservative without saying it lmao

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Honestly we should just refrain from making political commentary. We all now that extreme conservatives are just as bad.

    WHEN WILL YOU PEOPLE LEARN THAT EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL?

    The libre software movement has the stated goal of making a political statement. Your decision to exclude discussion of a certain ideology in a certain forum is itself a political decision. It is turtles all the way down.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 0 points 11 months ago

    Call it what you wish but I will never associate libre software with communism

    Capitalism is concerned with individual ownership.

    So USA is not capitalism? Because it is country with most anti-individual and anti-ownership practices.

    [–] Cowbee@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    It's one of the most Capitalist countries on the planet, and is filled with individual Capital Owners that employ Proletarians.

    Then explain patent trolls and general "you will own nothing and pay for it".
