I’ve notice that posts in this community tend to get deleted, even ones with multiple comments and/or useful information. Even worse is when they get posted again by some other user a few days later.

What’s going on? What’s the policy around here?

OK, I did a search for “Gnome foundation shaman” and that led down a rabbithole of WTF. What the hell are they thinking with this person?

re: Gnome and professional shaman – that one was pointed out pretty quickly as being misinformation (known troll with an archive.org post dated an hour before their “prank”)

Could you link to information on this -specifically on any work debunking it. I can’t seem to find any in the usual places, in fact googling shows stuff like https://youtu.be/NrzseZQotu4?si=1rQtbo9mwfAEt4sL which seems to corroborate the weirder claims. I suppose the channel might be part of it.

Having said that, this sure feels like a troll and it would be pretty funny if it were. Thanks!

Can you explain how exactly the evidence was created? Did some people create fake pages months in advance?

from the post debunking it, it was that it wasn’t “months in advance” that was the giveaway – for a website that she was supposed to have been using for several years for her business, the only snapshot archive.org had was dated an hour before the accusations started getting posted

Ah, I was thinking about the claimed social media pages though. I’m currently at “work” so I can’t verify yet.

According to the modlog, most things get removed for “Trolling” or “Misinformation”: https://lemmy.ml/modlog/14701

I don’t believe that log is complete. Either way there are a few posts there that got deleted for no reason:

Because I’ve seen posts posted to Linux@lemmy.ml removed that aren’t on the log. And I’m sure I’m not the only one.

In general, I find that a lot of communities have overly strict rules. I posted a news article a while back to c/news and they deleted it because it was “not us news”. At the moment I forget what the article was, but it was definitely of interest to us citizens, it just happened outside the US. Things like that have happened so often that I’m less likely to even try to post stuff

Why isn’t the community called USNews then?

Because they were making Reddit 2.0, with all the same flaws.

I agree. I actually had no idea it was US news. Yes I know we should read rules and all but that seems like a stupid rule

Yeah true. And in this case they were so adamant about it being us centric that they didn’t care that it was one of those stories that impacts the us in a significant way…

The balls of naming a community “news” and removing stuff that isn’t of interest to a small fraction of the world population on an instance that should represent the whole world.

Linux

Create post

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.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
