After the last post publicly by Naomi Wu being

“Ok for those of you that haven’t figured it out I got my wings clipped and they weren’t gentle about it- so there’s not going to be much posting on social media anymore and only on very specific subjects. I can leave but Kaidi can’t so we’re just going to follow the new rules and that’s that. Nothing personal if I don’t like and reply like I used to. I’ll be focusing on the store and the occasional video. Thanks for understanding, it was fun while it lasted”

Naomi Wu mentions briefly on her silencing and how she is not nearly as safe as she was before now that it’s obvious to the Chinese government her disappearance won’t cause an uproar of bad press making China look bad.

    Ah, you forgot to check the “about community”, or “sidebar”, or whatever it shows as in your app of choice.

    It’s an easy thing to forget.

    If you had, you would note that there are no rules against posts regarding related, and not technical subjects.

    This means you don’t have to see the relevance. As long as the mods do, it’s all good.

      From the community info:

      3DPrinting is a place where makers of all skill levels and walks of life can learn about and discuss 3D printing and development of 3D printed parts and devices.

      This doesn’t appear to be discussing “3D printing and development of 3D printed parts and devices”.

      I don’t think there’s anything wrong with content being curated to fit the community that’s literally the entire point of communities. Just because someone says this should be on a different community doesn’t make them an incel. It’s called content curation, it’s the whole point of having multiple communities.

        Am I missing something? Where did anyone specifically get accused of being an incel in this thread?

        Discussion of influential figures in the broader 3D printing community is as valid as posts, videos, or articles about related tools, products, and news.
