What are Lemmy's unwritten rules? (lemm.ee)

I’ll start. Non serious answers also welcome

Linux (Linux)
FOSS or die
Video content should have been text
Not caring a LOT about privacy makes you a non-lemmy normie

I can’t help but to feel like this is a bit of an overreaction.

I happen to really like discovering unwritten rules, it says a lot about the place. I also think we all shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously. I am no Linux user, but I definitely respect people who do and have no judgment about it. I really like FOSS and I think it’s important, and I also think privacy is very important and have learned a lot from my time here on lemmy. I do like video formats, however.

What I’m trying to say is, I’m not judging anyone, I just think it’s nice to have a laugh about who we are

It says a lot about the place

I agree, that's kind of my whole point.
