Technically this is a dupe of meta.serverfault.com/q/8422, meta.serverfault.com/q/9691, meta.serverfault.com/q/1223 and probably others.

I understand it is not answered (accepted answer) An upvoted answer stops questions from being pushed to the front page

There is no Gerald among the moderators, so no Gerald will see your flags. Sarcasm doesn't come over well in text.

Regarding meta downvotes - they are just disagreement.

I'm sure this was been asked and answered before see meta.serverfault.com/search?q=%22home+lab%22 although some of the questions are heavily downvoted so I'm not sure if you can see them.

Gotcha - may be worth noting that in the question though.

IDK why Opinion based was chosen, You ask 13 separate questions, I would have gone for lacks focus (or whatever it's called today). Also with that many questions, there is plenty of research you could have done but failed to demonstrate. In the grand scheme of things the correct thing happened - your poor/bad/crappy question got closed and the internet is better for that.

I find it jarring but not enough to be interested in editing it. I know what the OP means.

@NikitaKipriyanov meta.serverfault.com/a/9882 SF has been the target for some time.

@djdomi That is correct. The community run bot(s) have withdrawn their labour for the duration of the strike in support of it.
