No, a rebrand is not a true technological news. It is regular news. Same would apply if Pizza company changed it’s name. Internal policy changes of a website are not technological news either.

As a last resort maybe. There are also other technology communities on other instances. Let’s see who hands this issue best. But for now, mods have taken appropriate action.
