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

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 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.

[–] figjam@midwest.social 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

[–] tryagain@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 37 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 23 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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 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?

[–] DarkenLM@kbin.social 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.

[–] spauldo@lemmy.ml 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.

[–] DarkenLM@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Oh, definitely. Fucked up shit brings fucked up people. As for me, I'm never getting nowhere near those sites again. My curiosity is strong, but not that much.

[–] ColonelSanders@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] DestroyMegacorps@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

There's a lemmy instance for everything

2016 Twitter screenshots

I snorted audibly on that one.

[–] TheAmishMan@lemmy.world 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@lemmy.world 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@lemmy.world 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

And our new logo will be an exploding lemming.

[–] DarkenLM@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

That would be funny as fuck and I fully support it.

You can say threadiverse without explaining the fedi part.

Quality shitpost

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 years ago

Long live Richard M. Stallman (GNU+Jesus)

[–] Marduk73@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Anyone else getting "Gnu + Linux" vibes?

[–] strangematter@feddit.de 48 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] can@sh.itjust.works 33 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] kyden@l.cackl.io 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Live vicariously from this person!

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] areyouevenreal@lemmy.fmhy.ml 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] snor10@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yes, since the analogue is GNU/Linux. Though I don't know if Kbin shares any code with Lemmy.

[–] areyouevenreal@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Then it's a bad analogy. Kbin and Lemmy work independently. Linux and GNU are part of the same stack. Like it's not remotely comparable. They are also written in two different languages so I doubt they share that much code on the backend at least.

Paging the doctors, Stallman needs his medication now.
