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.

Seems fine with anarchy to me

There has been one mod action so far today and three others in the last week.

I don't feel like !linux@lemmy.ml has a problem with spam/reposts, at least with the current users. If lemmy got more popular this might change, but as long as the current mods do action unwanted posts, I think we're okay.

Without account-wide karma on lemmy, hopefully we'll avoid the karma farming known from reddit. At least I want to believe others also post what they think this community might interest, without other selfish reasons.

I personally try to only post likns on topics not already discussed previously, and I think I do a good job with it. As someone who didn't post on reddit (besides commenting), I want to encourage people to look whether an interesting article/topic was posted recently and post it if not. I want this community to thrive, which includes avoiding depending on only a few people. Just my 2 cents.

Anarchy doesn't mean the absence of moderation.

Um, doesn't it? Isn't that what anarchy is?

The anarchist library in web is a good source

[–] library_napper@monyet.cc 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No, its not. But it is a common misconception because the media is terrible. I recommend reading some books on Anarchy.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm good

[–] library_napper@monyet.cc 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)
