#arstechnica After over a decade of being part of that community, nt only has my subscription lapsed, but I have closed my Ars Technica pinned tab, and deleted my account.

After the transphobia article by Jon Brodkin, the sycophantic coverage of Musk by Eric Berger, the recent AI inventing quote event, and a moderation that favours the civil bigot and transphobe sea lion, the head moderator has decided to nuke discussion threads from the regulars.

Ars quality came from its commenters and community, it’s been going downhill for a while.

Good-bye.

PS: Shitcanning the reporter involved in the quote invention event does not address the root causes, systemic issues that led a reporter to publish this, and to work while too sick to work.
