    Lol whatever. Stop caping for evil ass corporations and then trying to couch your positions in pseudo leftist bullshit.

    It’s completely fine actually for someone to be like i ain’t buying that fucking optional doodad because i don’t want to deal with the corporate overlord that owns it.

      Yeah. That’s perfectly fine. Zero issue with that on my end.

      More of an issue with “it’s morally wrong of two billion people to even consider having a Meta account of any kind”, or claiming that Meta is doing things it is not doing, or moving the goalposts of acceptability if and when Meta caves to pressure.

      Like, not a big issue, as you say this is an expensive toy for nerds, so not a major dealbreaker. Just a bit of a shame and mild frustration at the unreasonableness.

      Well, that was like sixty posts of dogpile ago. Now it’s mild annoyance at online behavior in general. Although I’m honesly relatively proud of myself for not being angrier about this nonsense at this point.

        I didn’t read that anywhere, but it could be here and if it was i wouldn’t agree with it at all.

        I feel like this hits a nerve for you in some way it shouldn’t. You aren’t anything for having a Meta account besides someone that has a Meta account.

          Meh. Honestly it’s the mob mentality more than anything else. That and the weird “I’d love to have a cheap HMD but screw Meta” reverse-FOMO thing.

          The rest of the humongous thread is the same lack of self-awareness everybody has on places like these. Good old forum nerdrage.
