Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

And that's the point, they came in shitting on the thing the group was there for
I'd still not ask that there, because people there are going to be more focused on the thing you don't want to use. A more generalist group would be a better place to ask that, as even the second way asked in a Gimp group is going to mainly attract people who want to defend their favored project or help you fix the issue with it, when that's not what you're after.
Just as a reminder, the only thing the original comment that I replied to said was:
There was no context in the original image or the original comment that the OP was being an ass about it. All I was arguing is that you shouldn't immediately expect toxicity if you're not being toxic yourself. I do agree it's not the proper place to ask, and that your answers aren't going to be super helpful.
Fair enough
