Despite the current mess that is LMG, what I have come to enjoy is the community that was brought together around technology and memes. It was nice to have a community where we talk around a common interest (tech) but also meme around. And particularly one that's not on Reddit or ltt forums.

I'm far from an LMG defender, especially after the continuous streaks of misses. Unfortunately the largest of the LTT communities - !linustechtips@lemmy.ml - (specifically its mod) had recently seemed to have chosen to go down an atrocious path of vendetta against Linus and LMG. Beyond the community now being called "Lienus Tech Tips", even a neutral thread around stubby screwdrivers were locked, preventing further discussions on the best possible stubby screwdriver.

E.g. this thread https://lemmy.ml/comment/2889903

That entire community has transformed into one dedicated to LMG hate fest. This is getting tiring and off-putting. Hoping that we can get back to growing a community built around shared interests and tech instead of one that is cancerous, and vendetta-hungry.

We can still talk about tech stuff. This is a community of like-minded tech enthusiast.

I have a lot more faith in this community than the other one that's gone a little off the rails vendetta
