Awesome. The Linux community should be among the vanguard of this whole effort given our philosophy.

Honestly I’ve only been on Lemmy for a few days and I don’t anticipate going back to Reddit. I’ll probably use Reddit for IT help queries periodically but that’s it. I like Lemmy quite a bit more.

What’s the Lemmy equivalent? I’m still new and figuring it out here.

It’d be even better if all these subreddits indefinitely go dark. As someone who grew up using the “old” internet with Usenet newsgroups and mailing lists for discussions, I am happy that decentralized way doing things might be adopted again.

I mean… The plan to go dark was originally to protest the API pricing and policy changes. And as far as I understood, they’re all going dark until Reddit backtracks those announcements

Initially at least, the subs I saw were talking of going dark only for a couple of days, with only a few stating that they will go dark indefinitely. If everyone is on board now for indefinite darkness then that’s great!

Maybe I got it wrong then, but at least that’s what I understood initially. I guess we’ll see

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
