Holy shit, Linux memes trending in the global memes community? I belong here.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The best part of Linux memes are how much on the edge they are. I am honestly not sure if the Linux community disagrees on the point or if they think that one doesn't have to be so serious.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

From my experience managing Linux folk it depends on the individual and the time of day.

I think a lot of people here are more technical and thus more likely to use or know Linux.

Threadiverse sounds like what Meta/Threads would call the fediverse lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

You can be damn sure they've snapped up the domains.

You say furry porn like it's a bad thing.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is a very bad thing! Do tell me the community name. For research purposes, of course! So I know what to look out for, y'know? And also to tell my friend who also wants nothing with it

Every day we stray farther from gods grace

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

If God created everything and didn't want me looking at furry porn, why did he create it and give me a desire to look at it?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That thing is tame compared to the horrors that await deeper in the Internet. If God wants to smite Earth, it will be for way worse reasons that that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For some reason the sites deeper in the internet that contain that sort of thing usually contain a ton of assholes as well. Not sure why.

Ridiculous. I am definitely not going to be going there or bookmarking it. In fact, I'm going to go there right now just so I can see exactly why I won't be going there.

There's a lemmy instance for everything

Thank you for the laughs

2016 Twitter screenshots

I snorted audibly on that one.

[–] TheAmishMan 17 points 2 years ago (12 children)

Is there a simple name that is a good catch-all? Preferably one that's two syllables? Lemmy is such a simple name, much like Reddit or Twitter. Fediverse and threadiverse i feel just complicate it all

I dislike "Fediverse" and "Threadiverse", because I feel like Meta has left a bad taste in people's mouths with the previews of their Metaverse, and I imagine that's probably the first thing most people think of when they hear "Fediverse". I think they'd be fine names on their own, if not for that.

[–] carl_the_grackle 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fediverse really sounds like the metaverse but for feds... Not exactly a term i want to associate with

[–] mvirts 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Welcome to the Federaleverse 😎 lol the fed-a-verse is normal social media where they have teams dedicated to responding to subpoenas

You can say threadiverse without explaining the fedi part.

Quality shitpost

[–] Marduk73 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Anyone else getting "Gnu + Linux" vibes?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I can't imagine getting the reference and not getting the reference at the same time.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Live vicariously from this person!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I am, and I gotta tell you, it's great.

Nothing much, what's gnu with you!?

[–] Marduk73 3 points 2 years ago

Linux be friends

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

Oh no the gnu/linux thing got a new pal!

Long live Richard M. Stallman (GNU+Jesus)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Ah shit. Here we go again...

I thought Kbin was much newer than lemmy. So Kbin would be the new stepchild?

Paging the doctors, Stallman needs his medication now.
