Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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 sudo in 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!

      The main place where the community gathers is our Discord server. Feel free to join there to ask questions, help out others, share cool things you created with Typst, or just to chat.

    If we don't care about FOSS or privacy or whatever, Discord is good as a chat service, but it really isn't a replacement of something like a forum, website, or wiki.

    Good place to ask a question, not a great place to look for the answer to a question yourself.

    Ignoring the foss issue discord just needs slightly better fuzzy search and it would be amazing. Right now I'm usually able to find related discussion but it takes a few different keywords and I know that there's probably something im missing out on because a single character is different...

    From my experience with discord, more than one conversation is often happening at the same time in the same channel. For servers that are active enough, this can be as fast-paced as the chats in live streams.
    Trying to parse if the answer that "OrthoDonkulous" gave is for the question that "Headshots247" asked, that "ProgrammerSox" asked, or that "BelieveUsFoetusJesus" asked is sometimes difficult.

    it really isn’t a replacement of something like a forum, website, or wiki.

    Discord adds streaming channels and effortless multimedia which is huge. What I do on Discord isn't possible on these other examples.

    It depends on what the goals of the project/group are.

    Roughly 100-(1/∞)% of the time I don't want anything involving video or sound, but I could see some projects/groups where things like streaming or audio would be useful.

    I don't have an issue with discord itself, it just seems to be being used as the default for nearly everything now, even when it shouldn't be.
