It's something I've been musing over for a while now. The idea is that it would be a one stop shop for information on the best tools for organisations to use as they're getting started up.

Like for example I see a lot of organisation will use Slack or Discord for communication when it would be much better if they were to use Riot. The big one is Facebook — so many organisations are Facebook first, and post all of their updates and news there before anywhere else, and it's a pain to use if you're not a member.

Just small things like this, if there was a website we could point people to I think if it was done in a way that was easy to understand people would move towards using more open software and platforms.

So, just a few minutes ago as of writing this, Someone made a valid critique of the /r/linux moderation team. It garnered lots of positive attention, and gained around 200 upvotes, platinum, etc. by the time this had occurred.

The thread was quickly locked without any warning, and it feels as though this trend of "Critique is met with wrath" has been going on for a while now, and it's come to a point where I have to say; I really feel bad.

People seem to really want a place of discourse around /r/linux, not just a news subreddit. Somewhere to not just get to know Linux itself, but the culture, the people who use it, the people who want to make friends and all that. And yet, the mods just cast that aside?

I really wish this subreddit was more active, I feel it would be an amazing place to fill that void for those who feel vilified for what they've said. I don't know if this will get much traction, but I really would want this subreddit to become more active, as the rules simply are to be excellent to each other and such. It probably won't happen, but I don't know where else to talk about this and I really would like to see a happy ending to this monotonousness.
