Sister communities:
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
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!
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.

MODERATORS
I know it's just a meme, but god damn I hate this format. Some men cry while watching the titanic, some (many) women use *nix.
agree wholeheartedly
A small alteration would be to swap one of the female heads up top with a male, and go "Man, Chad guy never cries about anything. Is he even human?" You can even swap out Chad with chadette, depending on context.
Just a guess.
In the same vein, comments like "I'm a big bearded man but I cried...". As if they need to reaffirm their masculinity when they speak about their feelings in case we suddenly think they turned into a unicorn or something.
man I WISH I spontaneously turned into a unicorn every time I shed a tear
Also, crying is not the only way to be sad. Some people regardless of gender just don't cry easily when sad, doesn't mean they're not sad. Some people regardless of gender may not want to cry in front of other people for a movie. Or maybe they've already seen the movie alone and sobbed all day the first time but know what to expect the second time. It's frankly none of your business to judge how other people react to sad things and you certainly do not have enough evidence just looking at them to declare they "have no feelings," unless their ears are pointy and were the first to develop Warp Drive.
At home too?
