@Elevator7009@kbin.run’s alt for modding !bunnies@lemmy.world, as right now, Kbin/Mbin doesn’t play nice with reports or sidebar changes for a Lemmy community.

Some people get a smartphone instead of a computer, but you are right, I probably should have said “something with internet access.”
Sorry. In my experience, lack of sympathy is often paired with animosity and harshness, so I am a little wary. Disagreements in real life are a lot easier because you can tell tone better, and if the person is civilly disagreeing, or if they are going to start getting hostile on you. I’ll agree to disagree here.

I do have sympathy, considering a smartphone has become somewhat a necessity and not everyone is aware of options like the FairPhone. I agree about the filter, but it’s also true that no matter how much time social media consumes in peoples’ life, a lot of people would not want to say “I spend money on social media,” to look quite that online, no-life internet obsessed what a loser and all other sorts of insults. Especially since the norm now is to not pay, and people tend to resist change. Ads and the corporate control thing are probably just a minor annoyance for most people, they personally have not hit their bullshit limit yet, not everyone has the same priorities. I’d like them to have the option of a nice ad-free social media too. If I wasn’t around for the Reddit API drama I would not even be aware of the Fediverse and would not be here having this discussion with you.
Honestly kind of fearing a negative response because of your statement you have no sympathy for that kind of person—which means you might be more willing to engage in a harsh manner with me too. But I’ll take that risk in order to speak up in opposition to the no sympathy viewpoint.

I do not blame people for this, but that’s because as much as people hate ads and corporate controlled networks, they hate parting with their money more, and corporate-controlled, ad-ridden social media is free.
