  Here’s a good reason: kbin.social/m/technology@lemmy.ml/t/…/1678118

    Her wiki page is probably better credentials, but honestly anyone who’s been in this hobby more than a few years should know of her reputation. She helped design the CR-30 if nothing else.

    I’m hoping it’s just people knew to the hobby and not her being silenced taking a toll on her presence.

  We’ll leave that for you to figure out.

    As far as i can tell there is nothing regarding 3d printing in the article. I don’t think it is too much to ask to keep a community for 3d printing on topic. This seems to be some news piece about someone who had influence on / contributed to the 3d printing community, but as it’s not directly about 3d printing, I honestly fail to see the relevance.

      No. This is very relevant to this community. Naomi has been a great member of this community. She is an engineer and is known for brining innovative products to market; many with her name on them.

      Furthermore she is being targeted for LGBTQ+. That makes the issue doubly relevant to all real humans.

      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.

  I had the same question, and found the answer in the thread.

  It would be like if Steve from GN was detained during a fab visit by the Chinese government. That would be tech news regardless of whether or not they mentioned GN.

  She’s been meaningful to the community both as an engineer/designer and as a public figure.

  You really don’t deserve down votes for not knowing that, but I think a lot of people were just triggered by the way you asked the question.
