The motives of Ruqqus were always questionable. I went over there last year after another mass reddit purge. Then after a few weeks of being there one of the subs I frequented changed owners and started banning content. Come to find out Ruqqus had this mechanic where a sub could essentially be voted into new ownership and the original creator was shit out of luck.

I still hung around for a little while longer and then something else fishy happened that I can't exactly remember, but it didn't sit right with me so I just quit even going there.

Ruqqus was never a free speech platform.

There's only one reason I don't run Linux on my main system and Windows in a VM: Gaming.

If the game developers of the few games I play would develop for Linux I would ditch it in a heart beat.
