Yes, if what you mean is a bunch of posers trying to convince others they’re smart.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

In what sense? It’s certainly a gathering place.

What background music should it have and play?

I agree baroque music, programmer socks and a 1700's French style wig for discussing Linux on Lemmy

It is, weird name and weird genre but I love that band lol. I recommend checking it out despite how strange it is

Ah, no; you see, historical salons were not websites but instead actual places!

I can't shoot the next guy when I feel like it, so not really.

We are the salon NPCs. The mods are the main characters who can walk into the thread and start shootin

More like a squat or flophouse for nerds. Daring to exist in the middle of a gentrified area.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Yes, but with memes. Lots and lots of memes.

Mistaking salon for saloon. Both have lots of talking, smoking, and music. But one has an extra o.
