I’ll start. Non serious answers also welcome

  1. Linux (Linux)

  2. FOSS or die

  3. Video content should have been text

  4. Not caring a LOT about privacy makes you a non-lemmy normie

    Believe everything you see on Lemmy, even if it’s fake news except if it goes against the narrative.

    I have been curating my experience on lemmy by muting communities I don’t care for like politics, sports, some Linux communities, and also I always filter NSFW.

    I have never been happier because I don’t see what I don’t care for.

    Don’t be anywhere near the center. Don’t make any arguments about corporations providing value. Don’t try to report violent tankie content. Don’t point out that lemmy is just going to end up like forums because of power mods and admins defeding people they don’t like. And don’t call piracy stealing. People really don’t like when you call them thieves.

      And don’t call piracy stealing.

      The companies should make it nice and easy for us to watch everything in one place, in high quality, from any device, for nice and cheap! …oh, that was Netflix a decade ago ☹️

      Pretty difficult to convince the likes of minds on Lemmy to pay $100 for every streaming service in the world - to get a pretty awful experience, when you can get a much, much better experience without giving up your hard earned $$

      I will fly my flag high for the free seas 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🚢

        I never said it isn’t sometimes deserved.

        Know what you are doing and own it. You don’t like the means of distribution or price and you are stealing the right to distribution from them and very much taking money out of someone’s paycheck.

        My position is I’ll pay for it within reason but at some point it’s ridiculous. Like I can’t really be bothered to pay for all of Apple TV just so I can watch For All Mankind it’s not worth it.

          I don’t believe that and I patronize content producers. I think we can find better ways to reward inventors and creators, ways that don’t just benefit corps and the politicians they pay off.

        I’m autistic myself. Unwritten rules are generally far more complex than their written form, and the translation into words loses a lot of information. I’d encourage all other autistics to develop their attention and working memory, and then the unwritten rules will start to become apparent.

    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.

      I’ve seen 50x as many comments complaining about people liking Hamas than comments saying anything positive about Hamas

    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

    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

      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!

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

      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.
