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.
After my post got locked yesterday, I setup my own instance: !ltt@devops.pizza - feel free to use it.
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
I’m glad I locked your post then. It is actually great that you make your community. And if more people like it, you will get more users.
I tell you what. Please make a post about your community, I will pin it.
Edit: exactly as I thought. 24h later, no new post, only downvotes. I’m so, so surprised.
