This is your answer. Its only you. What are you trying to upload or what apps do you use? I will look into why directly you are blocked.
It happens sometimes if you are in a area where we get many requests or you use a vpn / tor.
Faster startup, faster start of games, software etc, YOU control the software not otherwise around, installing and removing software is 1 button click ( not 100000 clicking through yes i read tos that i will never read ... ), installation of software is quick, modern Desktop Linux distros really do not require that many terminal usages, FULL customisation of your desktop, windows, easier custom with quick one click installation and one click removal of course ( because on windows they just throw another "Hey you wanna use our other stuff" and still need to click through 5 clicks just to remove it. ),
You dont need a itchy tpm2 chick for your encryption of hardware and its not required for installing basicly the OS, you can pack your software into virtual environments ( Flatpack or similar ) so that some software, e.g. Chrome doesnt have FULL access to your pc that they REALLY do not need, switching OS from linux to another linux distro is super easy because of the easy installation of apps, extensions and all that can be saved to a file and just installed from another distro, you can choose what to upgrade ( no more FORCED windows updates or suprise updates ), sometimes you screw something up in your OS on windows you would HOPE there is something written on the internet, on linux you can just plug in your live boot linux distro USB stick and then you can fix directly what you or some application broke. ( never happened that my distro just "broke" ). On many distributions there is already integrated backups, that incrementally saves your data, the compatibility with everything is just great, even virtualisation of windows is better on linux then windows to linux, there is a lot of options for communicating between devices ( for example files ) and there isnt really a monopoly by one drive by microsoft, everything on linux is less "corporized" so less ads on your desktop, less bloatware, YOU own it, not the CEO of microsoft.
Of course i see you there already:
"BUT windows didnt do anything bad...."
They screwed windows users already BADLY, for example they "accidentally" install a HP driver software FORCED and without knowledge, they installed/recommend 3rd party apps/websites on a fresh install of windows, that should NOT be on a pc that YOU own and didnt wanted ads.
The bloatware that comes with windows, for example one drive, edge and microsoft store its just slowing your pc down, and after few updates your rtx 4090 TI pc feels like GT 460 pc because everything needs to run in the background.
In summary:
YOU own and controll your pc with linux, less bloatware, more customisation and less corporation spam
thanks for your points, if you think a ban of yours or your friends was unjustified, please tell him to make a unbann request, because if someone just isnt making the effort of making a unban request, then we dont see any regret, or not even a try to tell us that we were wrong.
If it was a community ban you are talking about, then talk to the mods.
If you are just angry because you got site banned ( because your account is just 3 days old and is immediatly got into a fight in the news community ), this is just the way of getting another one.
I would even say, some of your comments there are remove worthy, but we let the moderators choose if they want the message gone or not.
We are only here for urgent or illegal stuff. And that there is always a community moderated
It depends on where you live, in Europe ad blockers NEEDS to be allowed on such platforms, i would guess he lives outside and gets punished for using a more open browser
Ok, here is your Lemmy Silver for your good effort on your thankless job
Note: We try to help every Moderator, if he just comes up to us and asks. We try to communicate a lot with mods and users. But we are not perfect.
And we just wanted to be this time more... to the point and letting everyone know, as a mod you still need to follow LW's TOS and Mod Guideline. As we got some... not good moderators for the some of our last "Looking for moderators" post in a another community.
Firefox, is just a REAL alternative, it is more human focused, it is owned by a less evil corporation ( I know chromium is MIT, but they can just remove it and everybody is fucked )
On microsofts current windows, windows itself is the virus.
But if you need it, then i recommend you: Adblocker ( uBlock Origin for example ) with lists with malicious links and it removes many of those scam websites that google recommends.
Dont trust third party apps, dont use chrome(or chrome based browsers) it will steal more data than the free anti virus software ever does.
Wait, if this has many upvotes, this means its a unpopular opinion D:
