    Yeah, I get all that. But it’s opinion… I prefer to hear what everybody has to say, evaluate the source and then process what is said - and possibly why.

    I get other people are different and just want to mute etc, nay bother.

    I just don’t like people actively calling for a boycott. If you’re a functioning adult, pop over, have a look, maybe keep your mouth shut until you get the feel of the instance - and then make a decision…

    it just seems a bit pitch forks and lanterns against the Bwci under the bridge.

    (Plus it seems a bit weird to try and drive a wedge and foster resentment against where the devs of Lemmy be.)

      The devs of lemmy are a bunch of racist twats… If your sucking up to the devs just because they are the devs then your just excusing hate speak because of hero worship.

      Which in and of it self is extremely problematic. You may want to step back and think twice on why you hold that opinion.

              You literally said we shouldn’t boycott people and things and then suggested boycotting the US. Make up your mind.

                No, I was pointing out that you can boycott that country whilst acknowledging that not everybody who lives there wants complete fascista totalitarianism to wipe out everything that ain’t white and straight and Christian… and therefore keeping in touch with those folks is decent.

                Sorry, perhaps I worded it poorly.

                  No you worded it perfectly fine. Unless he doesn’t understand what an ellipses is or context.
