    I think I saw your original post and have to admit that I was a bit confused about the title, but the first thing that came to mind was that you’re talking about ricing, so I get why the mod felt like it was meant to mean ricing

    • I mean, I remember way back when, some people called suped up cars “rice burners.” I’ve certainly never heard it applied to a computer. But meh, I can see your points. Still blocking them because I don’t know how many times I need to read that China good US bad, so it’s a win in the end.

      I’ll take this as a learning moment.

        I have not been a part of the Linux community for very long but I’ve heard it a few times already, and since people usually don’t just pick random words as a post title, our brains start to look for any kind of connection a poster might have meant. Maybe an ootion for you would be to use very generic titles? Like “meme” or “image” maybe. I think this was mostly a really unfortunate coincidence, but I get that you’d rather just have a less political feed anyways.
