So what kind of content is allowed in this community? (startrek.website)

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.

Unless 7heo is willing to add other mods to the team, there's nothing much you can do except create another community on other instances. Probably best to subscribe to technology communities for actual tech news.

For the time being, I think shitting on LTT is okay-ish. But given that 7heo is still actively shitting on them, locking posts that don't align with their views despite OP not being a controversial topic at all, this is probably going to become his own echo chamber instead of a community that actually wants LTT to improve and have any meaningful discussion. I doubt they're going to limit these kind of shitposts after the investigation ends and proper arrangements have been made.

After my post got locked yesterday, I setup my own instance: !ltt@devops.pizza - feel free to use it.
