Hey everyone. I thought it would be nice to keep a running list of generally high-quality communities available on Lemmy.

Probably I'm not the first person who has thought of this, but I haven't actually seen one. If this is useful, let me know, and I can keep it updated, or let me know any additions you think would be useful.

RSS News community for It's Foss News.

If you dislike RSS Bot communities please block this one.


It’s FOSS is an award-winning web portal that focuses on Open Source in general and Linux in particular.

It’s FOSS was founded in mid-2012 as a hobby project to help desktop Linux users and spread awareness about Linux and open source. As the popularity of It’s FOSS grew worldwide, it was incorporated as an independent company CHMOD777 Media Tech in mid-2018. The term chmod 777 is inspired from the Linux command chmod with parameter 777 which signifies access (to knowledge) for everyone.

Ask anything you would consider too vague or too stupid. It is not supposed to be very refined or thought through, it can as well be a string of random symbols, just tell us how to read them. Consider it a very serious questions community, where questions most definitely are not serious, or the other way round. WE APPRECIATE ABSURDISM. WE APPRECIATE CREATIVITY. WE THRIVE ON ANSWERING GENUINE CURIOSITY!

These could be questions which you think a 5 year or 10 year old would ask, but you are not 5/10 year old and you don't have anybody to ask.

Rules:

  • Standard Netiquette reference - TL;DR - just be civil

  • Lemmy Instance Guidelines - TL;DR - just be civil

  • Post format is simple - it should be a question. You can add additional context to your delight, for example, what do you expect the answer to be, or how do you think one should try to answer it. Questions can be any any language (preferably english) but do what you like, just tag the post appropriately (you can select language while creating post). NSFW is fine as well, but please tag appropriately.

  • Stupid in a general sense - Ideally questions should not be stupid because they use fancy words. For example, if someone asks - why do we not use ferritic steels in cold temperatures? This question is stupid to all metaallurgy people because almost all of them know of ductile to brittle transition. But how many of us are metallurgists? (or have taken some crystal structure courses). They can be niche, we are not against questions that only some of us understand, but if you think the questions are too specific, give us additional context. WE ARE WELL SERVING SERVERS!

  • Academic Integrity - try to answer questions just the best way you can. if you think a alphabet is good, just do it, if you think.

  • New Rules maybe added in future - to which all of you also agree to while creating any post. YOU MUST OBEY A CONTRACT INDEFINITELY. BY POSTING/COMMENTING, YOU ARE CONSIDERED TO BE AGREEING THIS CONTRACT. IF YOU FAIL TO UPHOLD TO THE CONTRACT, YOU SHALL SACRIFICE YOUR FIRST BORN CHILD OR BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES OF ENRAGING THE GODS WHO SHALL PUT A CURSE OPEN THOU (or the subsequent ones in case you already sacrificed one, we are accepting in that sense, we would not be cursing your lineage/subsequent lives and stuff. If you do not have kids, then have them. The kid should be born or Feb 29 of any year, and must be 32 years and 42 days old at the time of sacrifice. Please do remember to contact us for the birthday parties, we can bring the best food and entertainment (rated the 17th best party organiser, by my friends list of - best birthday organisers who were born on 29th feb). Also, most of the blessed servants of god (read moderators) are very kind, and can "pardon" your crimes, for appropriate gifts).

This is a community just for some fun based on the spurious correlations website made by a university student. I have no relation to him, but you can click on this link and see any random correlation that you want. I'm going to post some of these for Lemmy people for awhile, until I get bored. https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious/random If you do actually follow the link you will see not only the graph but an ai generated explanation and an AI scholarly paper that supports these correlations. who knows what is going to happen when the AIs pickup these hundreds of scholarly papers and put them in their training data.

for things that are not interesting at all

unofficial clone of r/notinteresting

What does this mean?

it's not immediately obvious what the point of this community is, so here is an explanation of the intended content:

basically the point is to post something that, at face value, is not really interesting (uninteresting), but you sneak in a little detail that makes it more intriguing, but the point is to act like it’s nothing at all, while the people in the comments get weirded out trying to understand what’s going on or just meme about it

there are a few rules that follow along this premise:
  • The post should not be interesting

    • This rule is just for posts, not for comments.
  • No Racism and Hate speech

    • Racism, homophobia, and hate speech will be removed.
  • No NSFW content

    • NSFW content is allowed, as long as you put it under it's tag. But straight up porn, gore, and borderline NSFL will get removed, and the poster will get banned.
  • No Blank Images or really low effort posts

    • Posts that are just a solid color or REALLY low effort will be removed. An example of what counts as "really low effort" is only posting a picture of a bodypart.
  • No contextless selfies

    • No posts that are just a selfie with a random title. If you are doing something in the picture that's one thing, but just a selfie of you smiling at the camera and the title is "I had pizza for lunch" or anything like that, it will be removed.

Hope you enjoy this community, and have fun!

There are two major media cults in USA:

  1. Fox News media cult, consumers of "wealth televangelism" of Rupert Murdoch content creators, who are attracted to Donald Trump media press content. They adore powerful billionaires, attracted to lordship symbolism. Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk Twitter / X media platform, many others provide this media cult content.

  2. People who hate Donald Trump, who constantly talk about Russian piss tapes fetish, Donald Trump shitty / poopy diapers fetish, Donald Trump fashion and cosmetic, his orange skin color, Donald Trump's golf course visits. This media cult is attracted to Donald Trump content to mock the status symbol of POTUS on the world stage. These cult aficionados flock to surreal humor, absurd comedy, gallows humor, insult comedy, symbolism arrangement humor, and mass dehumanization mockery that Donald Trump and Elon Musk generate from the White House / Twitter social machine media platforms.

 

There are many variations of media cults, like Catholic vs. Protestant readers of the same storybook, The Bible imported from the Levant to North America. They all adore fiction storytelling, they are media cults of fiction and avoid intelligent non-fiction at all cost. They adore the mocking that Donald Trump White House provides since Q4 2014, the total mockery of humanism in favor of media content and media machines (HDTV for Fox News, social media machines for meme streaming networks like Twitter, Reddit, Bluesky, etc).
