Comment on ...So I Finally Quit Spotify

  If you have an adblocker, and you’re not visiting any of those nazi sites directly, but do derail a comment section about a totally unrelated article? I say it is, yeah.

  Then again, I can be pretty petty about circlejerks.

    I wouldn’t really call it a circlejerk to be against people who publish and profit from Nazi material.

      The person who wrote the article we’re supposed to be discussing in here is at least 2 degrees away from the nazis. At what point does it become circlejerk?

      The Lemmy instance you’re on is linking to a substack and is collecting donations, but you seem to be fine with that. So I guess the threshold is 3 degrees?

        I have nothing against the author of this article. I do have something against Substack. It really is that simple. If this article is posted somewhere else I’ll read it.

        If this Lemmy instance had a bunch of Nazi content and the admins said they wanted to keep it up, then I’d block this instance. Again, it really is that simple.

        If you’re fine with supporting a platform that welcomes Nazis with open arms, fine, you do you. It’s a personal choice.

    If I’m going to travel to a certain city I’m not going to stay in the hotel that’s hosting the Nazi convention. Here you are saying “yeesh it’s not like the convention will be inside your room!” But there are other hotels - simple as that.

    You act like a person needs some much better, really, really good reason not to read this article. If the site hosts Nazi content, that’s quite enough for me to just scroll to the next post. Why do any of us need to convince you or anyone else why this small act of conscience is valid?

      You definitely don’t have to. But if you were actually trying to, let me assure you that equating the reading of a harmless blog post to paying a hotel would not have done the trick.

        Then you can’t understand analogies. Because you patronize a hotel by staying there, and you patronize a website by visiting it. The differences in their business models are immaterial to the comparison. But I can tell quite clearly you’re determined not to understand any of this so I’ll just stop there.

  Viewing a website doesn’t mean supporting the website. Especially if you use an adblocker.
