      Dude I know, it’s like the 100th comment like this: I get it.
      But stop being so invested in what you think is true and consider this: there are still a lot of people protesting reddit on reddit because they want to stay there and they don’t like the direction it is going.

      My grandfather used to say “we didn’t beat the fascists by ignoring them: that’s how they got the power in the first place”. And while I’m a firm believer that boycotting is the best way of dealing with this sort of problems, I believe that sometime it’s also efficient to scream “fuck you” to somebody’s face.
      Like 90% boycotting and 10% “fuck you” seems a good ratio.

        Only (lol) difference is the Nazis were talking something finite (land, resources, freedom).

        Reddit is ephemeral, if no one went there it wouldn’t “hurt” anyone

          Although comparing Reddit to fascists is ridiculous, your argument isn’t quite right, either.

          Reddit IS taking something very finite: people. There’s only so many people in the world using this type of social media, and an overwhelming majority of them stick to one platform.

          If Reddit just went belly up, Lemmy would have increased traffic.

        Ah yes, here we go, comparing changing the color in some pixel to someone risking his life and that of his family.

          I love that when somebody tries to explain their point of view, there’s always a fucking smooth-brained, shirt-drooling piece of shit with zero self awareness that calls names and uses “SJW” improperly.
          I was exposing my idea with an analogy, y’all are the SJWs, telling people what is right or wrong like you’re all fucking Moses with the fucking stone tablets all the way up their asses and getting all riled up by the existence of a fucking meme. The level of hypocrisy you reached with less of 10 words is outstanding.
