What is a stance you hold that goes against your personal preferences but you believe is the right thing to do? (feddit.uk)

For example, I don’t use TikTok. I never have, and I never will, and I’d advise everyone else to get off the platform too. I genuinely believe it’s objectively harmful to people’s mental health and possibly even a threat to democracy. That said, I also believe people should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to use it or not, which is why I’m against the U.S. government banning it.

Then why are you here bitching about it?

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize stating the reality precluded me from having an interest in an open protocol or interest in seeing these communications evolve.

If you hate a thing, it's really easy to avoid it usually, particularly in this case

This is what I'm seeing here.

"Lemmy would be better if it wasn't an echo chamber. There's no variety in opinion."

"Well, if you don't agree with us you can leave!"

🤦🏻‍♂️

Where "agree" means "don't find it to be a shitty platform"

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Just seems like an odd thing to get defensive about.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

And it seems odd to me to use a platform to talk about how much you dislike it.

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

If you don't like it Giiiiiiiiiit out!

It's painful to see the technically adept push away everyone away.

The reason I was/am still here (for now) is this was the only true FoSS platform. I don't like that bluesky and meta are our best hope at an open platform.

But yeah fuck me for pointing out that this user base is toxic doomers who have poor communication skills.
