General > General Technical Chat

Dilbert loses newspapers, publishers, distributor, and possibly its website

m k:
You can widen the cooking stylish approach.
No idea though what would be a good framing.
TEA is not an example.

m k:
One could argue that community moderation is also cancel.
It's clearly justified by the size, a very little amount of total collective.
Obviously being private can't be it so not much else left.

Then totally accepted level of cancel is ignore.
So somewhere is a limit where acceptance changes.

Are we now around a peak of recoil of a no voice for minority.
My guess is no, there are still room for upping it.

Woke seems to be a continuity of tractor feminism where equal rights have turned to special privileges, no real personal examples here so just personal feelings then.
General USA can be different than my general reality, but maybe it has always been, more or less, fundamentalists vs. others, it really seems to be so from news feeds and popular history.
It's also clear that since USA can put sanctions around the globe it's pretty much vital that general local consumer audience is not going to change their view.
We'll see shortly what happens if/when Faux News has to deal with it.

But more importantly, Lineker is back.

I repeat, the community here has voted down this idea multiple times over the years, the majority do not want a free-for-all section.

It wouldn't be a free for all section. It would be for topics like this one. Not strictly technical electronics chat but equally of interest to those interested in electronics. Just like cooking isn't a free for all section.

You'd be happy to not have trump and covid discussion in the general electronics section, those who want to avoid non electronics discussion would like it and those who like to stick to their knitting can frequent the knitting section.

You could even make it a permission based section for those who request admission to it and then you could keep it well confined to only those who are interested in such topics.

And it'll either turn into a free-for-all, or there are dozen reports every day because someone hurt someone's feelings. And then that animosity spreads into other areas of the forum.
People have voted no many times before, and it remains no.

One of the major reasons, is it is believed to cause (political discussions), potential major tensions between members.  Bad disagreements, which can spill over to the normal forum threads, and lead to dramatic increases in the need for mod/admin attention.

It can also attract, the wrong sort of members.  Who, rather than discussing Electronics and related subjects, come here with other agendas, and who may not be anything at all to do, with any technical subjects.
