What happened to the 2026 Joke thread?

Yes, unfortunately, it deserved a tutorial all it’s own ;0

In german there is a saying: “Wasch mich, aber mach mich nicht nass” - “Wash me, but don’t make me wet” (bad translation by deepl :face_with_peeking_eye:) - better should something like “you can’t have the cake and eat it.”
In our case: you can not call for more moderators but not be willing to help …
Sorry that is not ment as offence!

Well i don’t think I’m trustworthy or unbiased :sweat_smile:

I would instead ban Karen’s and snowflakes :laughing:

And I’m a chef in a hotel restaurant so i work alot. :face_with_bags_under_eyes:

Yeah, it would be awfully hard to strike a proper balance.
So, we should ask you for recipes ? :slight_smile:

Yeah :confused:

Haha Maby :winking_face_with_tongue:

there is a easy way to mute or ignore users too… like just go to the users profile u dont like and hit whatever you want to do with him…


i never had a need to do that though

Interesting, thanks for info.

But how to get “Karen’s” and snowflakes to use the function? :thinking:

yes true, my daughter informed me about this just now..

But i simply know from experience on telegram chat that other formats are way easier to handle for such things. In there i have a range of helping users and we are like 3 active Admins/Moderators, but the thing that makes it easy is on the users reporting scam bait and issues.

I do love comedy i grew up on that.
Today still watching comedy instead of the “real” news :wink: There is more truth spoken between the words, as on any 100 minutes news report.

One of the unforeseen consequence of shutting down beloved threads will be the impact of footfall or shall we say eyeballs in this forum. My ex-retail boss used to say, get more people in, out of 10 only 2 will buy. But if we restrict it to 5 then only 1 will buy. Same happens over here.

There are lot of folks who come here to hang out and share with the EOS community. While they are over here, they see issues reported and many a times they help out. They may or may not be running EOS, but they give their pointers and also contribute to solution. This enriches this place and also helps out folks using EOS/Arch. After all the Arch forums are notorious for getting one’s head bitten, chewed and spat out.

This has already been alluded to earlier by @Koloss.

All I wanted to do was hang out here, share music, beer, screenshots, wallpapers whatever with the same like-minded people. Of course, as a long time (now ex)Arch user I always perused the help forums to see if I could help but as I hadn’t used Arch in quite some time, I felt out of sorts putting my two cents in.

And @SCORPION2000 is right. This is the dammed best distro out here. MX Linux and Mint are there too, equally good, but by god this distro is finger licking chicken eating good. Now where is my damn powder.

Is that a new wallpaper idea for @UncleSpellbinder ? :grin:

Ponies are OK. I d like a spotted hyena. Cool pet as long as you keep them fed…

Eh I would like to have a Black Panther! :laughing:

While we are choosing “pets”, I would not mind having a cheetah. Slick, nimble, and fast. I like fast!

I suspect you’d need a lot of land for any of those, but I would love a cheetah also.

I find keeping wild animals as pets offensive, they shouldn’t be kept as pet but live out in the wild where they are free! :wink: :squinting_face_with_tongue: (sarcasm).

If I’m being sensible, I agree with you, but hey a man can dream even if there’s zero chance of it coming true!

I was just playing, I love seeing animal videos!

Well to move this back on topic we had a new update from Bryan:

And my post/comment there:

“Humm still no good excuse to delete a whole thread with just jokes! :person_facepalming: If it is to hard/time consuming to moderate a Joke thread them let it be free(unfiltered, uncensored! (minus illigal, porn and stuff).

Create a new section And Maby put an disclaimer like:

This is humor no snowflakes allowed.
? :person_shrugging:

In that case, I want a colony of Pygmy marmosets

It’s easy to say this, when you’re not the person who will receive complaints from other users.
Looks like you just discovered we’re in a world dominated by the US political correctness.
