    The moderation not so much the content was what was wrong with it.

    Linux needs criticism and you hear the voices of the less tech savvy if it wants to grow its user base and gain wider adoption, similar to lemmy. But if that discussion is a bad faith, “Linux is bad and you can’t change my mind” posts, with enforcement via moderation, then it’s not useful to anyone really.

      I use Linux and I think a lot of the criticisms are not only valid, but often hilarious. Everyone who uses Linux has funny stories about fucking up their system doing something they shouldn’t have.

        I’ve totally done some things with dd which could have been in an episode of Silicon Valley.

        In This specific example, the issue was purely with the community and sole moderator.

          Ok, so the new community will not change anything in that regard.
