Have you looked at Trash Guides and set up quality profiles and custom formats?

You're right, I got heated, and I'm sorry, but if you are genuinely incapable of understanding why people don't like your community and those associated with it, then you are fogged and dense

Let's take a look at one of those posts (since you obviously didn't)

The comment in question is in response to a post that says "Capitalism is the root of evil" and says

The state owning the means of production means the people running the state have a shit ton of power. Just takes a handful of bad people to turn that into oppression as we've seen in the USSR and China. If you disagree feel free to explain your reasoning

This person's comment was removed and they were banned from the community, with the only explanation being "Rule 1"

Now the mod who banned this person was Dessalines, who is an admin for .ml, not a mod for the Memes community, so I'm not sure if they are referring to the Meme community's rule 1 or lemmy.ml rule 1, so let's take a look at both.

Lemmy.ml Rule 1:

No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

I'm failing to see how the original comment relates to any of the listed terms or what this has to with "not being a liberal." If you disagree, please enlighten me

Memes Rule 1:

Be civil and nice

I can only see civility in the comment and, once again, nothing about "don't be a liberal"

Is the fog starting to lift yet or are you still going to be intentionally dense about why people don't like you?

Very curious indeed. If we take a look at !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works (is this how I link communities?) we can see several posts from the last couple hours alone of people getting banned for sane takes and attempts at discussion. Truly, it's a wonder that anyone would be upset by this

Any Debian/Ubuntu or fedora based distro will do you fine. I personally ran PopOS when I built my computer earlier this year and didn't have any issues with it

Just delete the post and redo it in the right community

I would also recommend it, and I even tried it when i started, but i just couldn't get it to work. Probably permission issues

For a while I split tunneled tailscale through an openvpn .conf file, but recently switched to using qbittorrent in docker with gluetun. Qbittorrent is realistically the only service that needs to be behind a vpn so it works out well

I'm sure any server oriented Linux distro will do fine. I use Debian.

I will note, I don't know if you're planning on having remote access (e.g. through tailscale or reverse proxy), but if you are, I found it quite a challenge to get proton to play nice with them

About the second point, your pc shouldn't be putting any resources towards a VM if it isn't active. Just shut it down, close it, and play games on your host as normal.

One more thing, I'm assuming you're doing your gaming on Steam. Check ProtonDB for all of your games to see if they work on Linux (protondb only lists steam games, so if you have games as well, I've found a google search usually does the trick). You might find that you don't even need a VM

What is that fanfiction headass conversation at the end lmao

No one's accusing apple of anything here, they're just making a comparison

The app has a few holdovers from reddit. Another one (although I think this was fixed in the most recent update) is that using the report button sent you to the reddit report page. There's probably more but these are the only ones I've noticed

I just recently bought black ops 3 on pc so I could play custom zombies with my friends. I'm shocked but very glad that people haven't given up on this old game

Ted and Eddy would have been very happy with this
