Just ban non-technical discussions?

Because I get the impression it's NOT unrelated to nixOS. What they're shutting down is things that are *controversial*. You know - those awkward things like governance. Internal Politics. Etc etc.

(Personally, I feel shutting down "unrelated" stuff can be a very bad thing. I've seen too many discussion fora become "business only" places, and very rapidly the only thing left is tumbleweed ... It's hard work to keep things under control if you allow wider discussion - as our esteemed editors know - but it brings in engagement. The problem is that if you shut down "unrelated" stuff you end up with an echo chamber, if you allow unregulated stuff things can turn nasty very quick. And if you're really "unlucky" - Facebook anyone? - you end up with vicious echo chambers ...)
