   /r/linux still has GamingOnLinux banned, but allows sites like PC Guide and various others to post the exact same stuff 🙃

     The main moderator dislikes me, claims GamingOnLinux is "blogspam".

     @gamingonlinux I generally like your content, but... Are you still making posts about Windows-exclusive games just because they work in WINE/Proton? If so, and if you posted one of those articles to r/linux, I'd categorize that as spam, too.

     @thetemerian @gamingonlinux You're leaning really heavily on "wine is not an emulator" there. While the x86-code-execution part of wine is reasonably not-an-emulator, I strongly disagree when it comes time to start replacing dx function calls with gl/vk-based replacements; those new functions are definitely emulating the unavailable APIs.

     @thetemerian @gamingonlinux On the flip side, if we accept that wine isn't an emulator...
     What makes xemu an emulator? It's doing the same things wine does, running x86 code natively while translating sys/API calls.
     What makes dosbox an emulator?
     If these are also not emulators, does that mean every xbox or dos game belongs in r/linux?

     @gamingonlinux @sparr why does it matter how it works? If I can run it without an emulator or dual-boot, then it’s not Windows exclusive

     Maybe check communities in Mbin/Lemmy/PieFed sites?

     Reddit to me had limited potential communities as names that make sense for a given niche seemed quickly exhaustive, and Reddit's limited discoverability made for newer communities to stagnate.

     Added to that, if mod teams or the community has too many bad actors/people you have problems with, you become a hostage of the situation.

     At least with federated platforms, it's easier to make/find alternatives without ditching the whole environment.

     @gamingonlinux @thetemerian lacking your direct response, my best alternative is to hope that one of the explanations being offered by someone else matches yours, so it's intentional that I'm still also replying to you. I'd much rather engage you directly, but haven't seen where you've addressed this recently.

     @gamingonlinux Sorry, I misspoke.

     If you, Liam, make posts on your linux gaming blog about non-Linux games, and then *someone*, not necessarily you, posts those to a linux subreddit, I'd categorize that as spam. If it happened enough times from enough different people, I'd block posts linking to your blog.

     @sparr you have a very narrow definition of spam then

     if it's run on linux: it's fair game as far as I care

     this purist look is tired, old and stupid
