From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Was looking for a hobby, something I could work on for a long time then eventually put ads. No pop ups just banner ads at the appropriate places
Social media is the current hotly contested battle ground for hearts and minds for the next few generations and it looks like you're experiencing what happens when you accidentally barge into it w good intentions from the people that want you to stay out.
20ish years ago people would have been idly curious at the most about your hobby; now they're trying bully you into giving it up.
What kind of hobby is "injecting ads into soweone else's community platform that you've rebranded as your own"?
