No, because if you don't like it you are free to leave. The Reddit migration to Lemmy is a perfect example of that. Reddit doesn't want third party apps and can do as they please. Object, protest, whatever, but as long as you keep logging in they don't care and will keep moving forward.
Saying someone is abusing the power they hold as the service host, when participation is 100% voluntary, with nothing to personally gain, is rather moronic. They have no real power, only the perception of it.
People have said the same thing about 'whites only' businesses in the past.
If you think Twitter is anywhere near close to being as important as civil rights you need to put the phone down and be with your family for a while.
I didn't suggest any such thing.
Then why mention whites only business as if that has any place in a discussion about social media websites? Lol
I don't know that it's worth holding your hand through an explanation of why a shitty excuse is always a shitty excuse.
You're supposed to say that line while looking in the mirror.
If you're going to make weak personal attacks, I can just block you and be done with it.
This is a blazingly hot take but you are entirely correct, and people need to hear it. People will scream "FUCK SPEZ" while logging in to 400 different reddit tabs daily and continuing to feed a corrupt (and soon to be) corporate entity.
I'd be more upset if this was something actually important like a government website or something people's lives depend on, but yeah, it's not. It's just entertainment. Folks need to move on.
