I don’t get it, every post here that isn’t about Linux or some serious topic seems to get downvoted to hell.

I like Linux as much as the next guy, but c’mon, not everything here has to be about it or serious topics…

    I just double checked top 20 posts sorted by “hot”. Only 2 has any relation to Software. Zero posts relating to Linux. Is there a particular post you have in mind?

    On Reddit, joke (usually bad joke, low effort meme or pop culture reference) comments were the absolute worst kind of spam that destroyed the readability of comment threads.

    That sort of content belongs in its own space, not polluting places that are still worth reading.

    Sub? Where’s the sub? Battle stations!!! Arm the torpedoes and depth charges!!! :D

    We haver loads of communities for messing about, memes and just general banter. I think this community as well as [email protected] and loads of others are for more serious questions.

    I mean that’s just what this sub is for and that’s fine.

    It’s a shame that the more specific communities aren’t bigger so they’d be more active.

    Ya, like my chestnuts being lazy thread got ripped a new one :( Many humorous posts go the way of the Dodo bird, its pretty ridiculous

    Maybe if there’s a better place, I’'d just do that but it still seems excessive. And we have our share of schizos obsessed with pounding their big red downvote button—no diet coke necessary
