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.
Mod seems to think anyone who doesn’t view LTT as evil now is a ‘fanboy’.
I’d join a different LTT community modded by someone more chill if someone makes one :)
After my post got locked yesterday, I setup my own instance: !ltt@devops.pizza - feel free to use it.
Joined, if u need any extra mod help lmk
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !ltt@devops.pizza
There is a line between treating a company like a company vs complete cancellation. Let’s not cross that line.
We can all agree that they should be held to scrutiny, get absolutely clowned on and ripped apart. But I don’t think they deserve immediate cancellation. Give them time, let them cook, they are a company and they did everything a company should do so far (even if it took some pushing).
You don’t have to forgive them for anything either and that’s fine, companies after they cross a certain size rarely, if ever, deserve the benefit of the doubt. That’s why you go and hurt their bottom line first (and that is money). Cancellation should be the last option.
