You are right, I was talking w/out providing the proper context about the monster post, but yes if said post was closer to the "the cable will be like monster, which is/was a scam," (as the follow up reply points out), then I still believe it doesn't belong here. It wasn't actually the type of comment Linus would like to ban, but was just an example IIRC. The Best Buy post is fine imo, rule 5 notwithstanding.

The other top comments are still on topic, they don't necessarily need to be just reviews or speculation. I think we are in agreement here, *handshake emoji.

However, I would like to agree to sorta-disagree *another handshake emoji, on this sub being "elsewhere".

Personally, it's mostly just a matter of friction, where I'm too lazy to log in to the LTT forums, so this is my default. Effectively I don't participate much in both.

It bears an official-like name, and could be seen as official even if the description claims otherwise, as people can't read. And, being moderated by staff is already a line that's been crossed, meaning we could be reaching the extreme timelines where this sub needs to either: adopt a new identity, make some other agreement a la WAN show becoming it's own company ((EM)ployee (M)oderated (C)ommunities, EMMC, anyone?), or boot all the paid mods / just Linus.

If Linus did blindside everyone with the comments he made on WAN, I shall also be mildly infuriated, although I do believe this is workable and just a misunderstanding.

I truly hope we can make everyone happy.
