Does the reddit style format breed toxicity?
Imo, downvotes is just a disagreement. Being offended by it sounds like a "you" problem, we all have to deal with it.
Upvotes normally give me answers I need for at that moment. Downvotes makes me reassess myself.
I dont think you must read to much into the downvotes. Understand the situation why people might have downvoted you, understand why other people get upvoted, assess the situation. And most of all, understand that not everybody will always agree with you

"Block The Rich" is like an ad-blocker, but for obscenely wealthy people with overinflated egos.

I like your thinking, I have a dual boot on laptop with windows 11 and LMDE installed, and its been a while since I booted to windows for personal use. Unfortunately for me I am still dependant of windows until Autodesk decides they will create the software I use for the linux environment as well. Until then, I'll rock on with personal "freedom" of linux, while I'm a slave to the corporate / microsoft

If you do use any debian distro, nala is a great way to update your packages.

I was also thinking it, but the thought of "building your walls up so high, that you eventually don't know what is really happening around you" might become problematic. I am still thinking of how to implement it, I think such a projects is worth the effort, especially if you have full control of what you want to view.

Dear lemmings, what app do you use for calls?
I started using "Yet another call blocker". The community updates the database, the more calls you can identify and review on the web, the more effective it gets. You can get it on fdroid if you use android

What made you pick the Lemmy server you are on?
Reply in thread
Even lemmy.word, at least for me, was difficult to join. I have a hard time to log into the account I have created there. I think we must understand this is not redit, the platform is fundamentally different how you approach it. The fuller the server gets, the more difficult it gets to get into your account.

Single pcie passthrough for rx6800 gpu
Reply in thread
"UPD: Sorry. I read the reddit post. So you pass through single GPU. You load GPU bios when Windows load?"
"In general, such a configuration will be quite complicated, but if you want to try, show the VM configuration and the start hook. Without this not easy to say."

I don't think it is necessary, as @navordar mentioned, just pick a smaller server, maybe have two or three accounts on different servers for now might work, unless you are willing to host an instance that will help grow the federated network.
Hosting your instance, might require some commitment, good admin skills and transparency. I am inspired how the arch Linux community handles their admin for projects, I believe whoever hosts a instance that follow the same philosophy, that instance might stay active for a very long time.

I guess if you have a new laptop, I can imagine that with newer kernels than what is debian based, that said before debian 12 recently came out. I'm personally a bit worried of recommending "corporate funded" distros, help me if I'm wrong, but what heppened with RHEL, I can't stop thinking it will happen with fedora.. It is just my opinion/fear

I guess you can run fedora if you want full features of a laptop. Im currently running LMDE5, is rock solid for me this past 2+ years, upgraded seamlessly from LMDE4. I guess LMDE6 will be released soon after LM 21.2 is released. I do think that at the end of the day , whatever you choose, you can change your desktop environment so it suites you.
