Never ceases to amaze me how people can’t seem to understand that disliking one or two aspects of something doesn’t mean hating the whole thing. You can hate the API changes and what they imply without hating the rest of the site. You can want something better for a community you’ve been a part of for, for some of them (myself included), over a decade.
There is a point where you just have to let go… but you don’t have to do it the nanosecond you see something you dislike. If everyone did that we would all live in complete isolation from each other.
If I let it go the second I disliked the platform I would have left in 2016. This was the culmination of years of blatant disregard for their users. It didn’t start with the protests, they were just the final straw for a lot of us.
And it wasn’t for a lot more. Looking down at people who didn’t make the same decision you did is either childish… or misplaced anger that should be focused on the people making that platform something you no longer cared for.
I hate some food, should I stop eating now? Pretty sure you do, too. Do you still eat? (also, I’m asian so don’t tell me you don’t hate any food or I’ll put you up to it lol)
This is an overly simplistic take (and a blatantly reddit way of thinking - black and white, anyone?). Now I don’t use reddit anymore but went back for r/place. Why? Because I felt like spreading the word about alternatives (not just lemmy/kbin) is much better than just letting do their thing. I’ve already explained in a recent post how that won’t affect traffic much, so I won’t explain anymore. After that, I’m deleting everything again. I hate spez and what he is doing to reddit, but do I hate the small niche reddit communities I’ve made connections with over the years?
never ceases to amaze me. So many people hate spez and reddit, yet they still keep using it.
