I'm getting an error when trying to access the PC master race community on lemmy.world "couldnt_find_community". I can't even read my own comments on there. Strange, considering as far as I know we haven't defederated from .world. Anybody know how I can fix this or should I message the admins?

I kinda noticed the first one, but didn't think it had anything to do with taking offense. The second one I haven't noticed at all as well as the third one (the third one is especially bullshit in my opinion).

My God, this is still going on. I'm still having trouble comprehending whether this is just a very elaborate parody. The term "master race" is not in any way offensive and even if it is (to a small amount of people) they are perfectly within their right to be offended, but not to ban other people from using it.

I mean, they are. PCs are superior to a console in every way except the price point. Consoles shouldn't even exist in this day and age, the only reason they do is because of exclusives, all the bullshit around PC parts and more recently bad PC ports.

How effective are VPNs at preventing this? I've heard it recommended the most as a counter measure.

I mean proton is available in the AUR last I checked. Also, couldn't you just use the "add non-steam game" option in steam? I've heard it does sometimes block pirated games, but it wouldn't hurt to try

So true! Here, have some internet points and validation!

I think it's mostly a power trip like you said, or just a straight up passion project for those who want to have a community around their niche. As for the larger mainstream subs, yeah they're just doing unpaid labor.

Kinda. I may have set up a Mac OS VM on my computer and downloaded Final Cut and Logic Pro just to say "Ha! Fuck you Apple!". I have no GPU passed through. I don't know why I did this.
