This subreddit was created in response to some conversation that took place on r/linux regarding excessive/restrictive moderation there, particularly regarding the suppression of any posts that didn't revolve around Linux news and discussion surrounding such news — posts such as those by community members simply asking questions about various aspects of Linux and Linux distros.
The deleted post in r/linux which inspired the creation of r/FreeLinux can be found here — [partially archived on Wayback](http://web.archive.org/web/20200113202424/https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/eo8gpn/moderation_see
