is harsh criticism of E:D and FDev welcomed here? (lemm.ee)

Ever since Update 16 gave us nothing new that isn't War-related except magnetic sippy cups at low-grav outposts, I've become disillusioned and very much disappointed in E:D and especially FDev. However, on the other site, whenever I post any comments that give any sort of criticism towards E:D or FDev, I get chastised and ridiculed. It seems that, now, the general consensus is that FDev can do no wrong and E:D is the greatest game ever. I don't agree, I think they both have a lot wrong with them, and this is coming from someone with over 800 hours put into the game and who loves it to death. I guess I was wondering if this place is as much of an echo chamber as the other place, or if I can truly freely air my opinions on certain things about E:D and FDev here

I present you’re on the StuartGTs sun rather than the E_D version on Reddit. The underscore version is much less complimentary (but is also fully supportive of murderhobos and seal clubbing).

I recently got the odyssey update, doing a play through on a nearly fresh cmdr. I’m not much of FPS player, but I was appalled at the poor mechanics. I really bought it to try Exobiology but, really, I don’t have the patience for a 10 minute mini-game to get a single roll on the RNG/slot machine.

I’ve not tried the latest thargoid expansion. As a new cmdr, I’m hundreds of play hours from the ships and weapons necessary (that dude who solo’s a Medusa in a sidewinder notwithstanding). I’ll def lose interest (again) by then.
