      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.

    1. If you get kicked from an instance, upon joining a new instance, make your first post a furious comment on the admins/mods/hivemind of the instance that kicked you, completely forgetting we can all see the modlog.

    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

        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!

          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. ;)

    Your YouTube link should have been a Piped link but it’s okay.

    You’re free to enjoy the lemmit.online content, but don’t interact with it or you will appear confused.

    Don’t stress about upvotes/downvotes-- They’re even more made up here than usual.

    Never pass up an opportunity to bitch about ads, Chrome, Reddit, capitalism, Arch users, streaming services, or your favorite Lemmy client.

    Do not attempt the Picard Maneuver unless you’re sure you know what you’re doing.

    FOSS but also no ads. And don’t harvest any data to sell either.

    I genuinely don’t understand where revenue streams are meant to come from for any of this software with peoples expectations.

    But honestly Lemmy is so pro piracy that it doesn’t really matter if you were to charge for your product

      I don’t think those people want revenue to exist, as in everything and all should be free forever and always.

      People being mad at youtube for trying to force people to pay for the insanely expensive service they are providing was/is strange to me, on a similar note.

      For FOSS, it’s sort of given in the name though. If it’s not free, it wouldn’t be FOSS, and companies like Google and Facebook have permanently destroyed most people trust in ads not also being paired with data harvesting. Other than offering paid tech support, it’s difficult to find a non intrusive way to get money.

      People want prefer a tiny icon in the description where the author(s) ask for donations, but don’t they dare pop up donations to ask for donations though!

      The internet existed for a long time prior to monetization of it. People used to do things because they were good ideas, fun, or helpful.

      Revenue streams made things worse.

        I think it’s a pretty bold statement to claim that the Internet today is worse than it was 20 years ago before things were being monetised.

        People still do stuff just for the sake of it. To be fun, helpful, whatever. However to expect things to just be done for us out of the kindness of people’s hearts I think is bordering on entitled.

          Yes, there are people who do that, but there are many more people in the FOSS world who don’t expect anything and instead contribute.

          Focusing on the entitled people won’t make you happy, reagardless the topic.

    Each community, at some point in time, has to have someone with severe a case of Main Character Syndrome make a post that refers to another post where their feelings got hurt cuz their initial post didn’t get the exact kind of attention they wanted, which then results in a total shit fit in the comments.

    I’ve seen it happen numerous times in my short time on Lemmy. Especially on [email protected].

    People need to learn how to just suck it up and move on ffs. I swear it’s the r*dditard mentality leaking in here.

      Reddit has this too. Especially on subs with younger audiences… Or really old entitled audiences.

      Honestly, kinda true. Point out that someone is using a grifter with bad oversimplifications to support a political position you otherwise agree with? You’re on the other side and want children dead.

        I think it’s way worse. At least on Reddit you can find smaller niche subs that are full of serious-minded, intelligent and well-informed users who have no time for pure amateur hour bullshit. R/askhistorians would be the premiere example, but there are a lot of others.

        It’s only on the big lightly-moderated subreddits that your signal-to-noise ratio really goes to shit, whereas all of Lemmy seems to be awash in teenage level discourse.

        Hopefully it gets better as its user sse expands and diversifies into more tightly-focused and heavily-moderated instances.
