So due to recent developments, are we still allowed to post and discuss tech-related topics? Or is the goal of this community now one of shitposting on LMG, given the recent name and banner changes?
The recent post on stubby screwdrivers was locked before even giving other people the opportunity to share their own thoughts on alternative brands that are specific to their country. As much as Linus and LMG fucked up, really sad to see this community degrading down a path of hatred (even if justified, based on community name change , banner, etc), instead of chatting about what we all love: technology, independent of the situation at LMG.
Really hate seeing a community with so much promise (especially as a Reddit alternative) getting destroyed.
Oh no I’m not trying to be hostile at all. That definitely wasn’t my intention, sorry if it appears that way. I’m just coming from the angle of what went wrong in your original comment, that’s all. :)
I don’t disagree with your points at all, but context matters, and especially in internet discussions where comments are skimmed through quickly and people don’t fully get what you were trying to say if you leave out some things. Though I also think you don’t really need to be that salty and edit your comment when only 2 people downvoted you. Just elaborate and move on, that’s what I do at least.
