- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.

sudo
in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

You shouldn't use this app in the first place. It had many data breaches and it copy everything from Telegram (maybe everyone copies, but I don't use other apps). I only mainly use Telegram and Matrix.
It's impossible to convince that to friends and family. In my country everyone use WhatsApp as primary messaging app . It's kind of like iMessage situation in US
I feel that, a good chunk of my friends are on Signal thankfully but all of my family still use WhatsApp
iMessage For My Blue Friends, Signal For My Green Friends
For me it's the other way around :/
It's nice that a lot of my surroundings have finally jumped to Telegram. Previously it was Viber (bleh). But it's much hard to go to Matrix because it's much much less feature rich and less polished then Telegram. I can easily use it as a basic text messenger, but that's about it. So Telegram is a solid middle ground. Can't wait for the multi server Matrix accounts.
im fine with my family using viber tbh since it isn't owned by Facebook or Amazon
