    And I fucking hate those people. All of them will say “but I won’t move until other people move”, and so nobody will move.

    Complacency is not a good excuse.

      Just a random reminder that judging people SOLELY on their consumption practices under capitalism is actually an asshole move. Not everyoneone has the time, patience, or means to make all of the same choices you do, and it’s not their fault that availabilty is commanded by monopolies and consolidated power structures.

      You can keep hating if you want but those people will not miss you and you will find that your options are rapidly shrinking at a time when you’re going to need people most.

        I judge people on consumption practices that are easy to change. Not me nor anyone can do anything about all the affordable things we need to survive coming from sweatshops or destroying the environment.

        But Discord doesn’t come even close to approaching any such thing, and it costs literally nothing to collectively dump it. Especially if some technical friends have already done all the technical work for you.

        Fuck anyone who tries to make that comparison.

        You can keep hating if you want but those people will not miss you…

        I won’t miss them either. Only what I thought they stood for.

          I mean how are you interfacing here on Lemmy? You got an iPhone or are you using technology that wasn’t built by one of the 5 companies trying to actibely destroy the world?

          I don’t think yoy need to be putting this much moral burden on Discord that it makes you actively shun people who are otherwise probably not monsters. When I say SOLELY I do mean are you making any other calculation here like whether they’ve been a good friend to you or are someone you might be able to cpnvince down the road? People who still go to Starbucks disgust me but if I have a friend who works for Non-Profit orgs or volunteers time and just doesn’t have the desire to focus on where they’re picking up their 2 dollar drip coffee I might sneer at them when they do it but hate doesn’t enter into it.

            Since I already answered most of this in my previous comment, I’ll just copy pasta it:

            I judge people on consumption practices that are easy to change. Not me nor anyone can do anything about all the affordable things we need to survive coming from sweatshops or destroying the environment. But Discord doesn’t come even close to approaching any such thing, and it costs literally nothing to collectively dump it. Especially if some technical friends have already done all the technical work _for you._ Fuck anyone who tries to make that comparison.

            As for the new thing:

            I don’t think yoy need to be putting this much moral burden on Discord that it makes you actively shun people who are otherwise probably not monsters.

            I can, I should, and I will. So you can go fuck yourself.

              Yeah starting to get the sense that people didn’t follow you to Matrix vecause you’ve gone out of your way to make yourself as insufferably sanctimonious as possible. Can’t blame them.

              It sounds like being you is deeply unenviable. Good luck! Being a full on cunt will never convince anyone to be on your side!

                Yes, believe whatever is most comfortable for you to believe, because gods forbid a modicum of principle is demanded.

                Being a full on cunt…

                Only my bestest behaviour towards those most deserving.
