They're just expressing an opinion just like the Lemmy devs have. (note: I have not looked into what their views are exactly so I'm not saying parent poster is correct)

Nobody is being forced to do what they suggest.

It wasn't an opinion, but a direction. "I dislike lemmy.ml because it is run by communists" is an opinion. "Don't go to lemmy.ml" isn't.

[-] 73ms@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

At the end of the day it is just an opinion even if it is in the form of a direction because the one giving it has no real influence on or ability to make the readers do it and they know it.

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Directions don't only become directions when you have power. They're just ineffective if you don't have it. Doesn't mean you're not at least trying to control people

That's really arguing about insignificant semantics just concerning the form and not the actual implications of the message.

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

That is not semantics whatsoever. "Don't open that door" is a direction whether it comes from a stranger or a police officer. Why should anything else be different?

I can't help you if you refuse to see any difference and don't find this constructive with you at this point.

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

There is nothing to "help" me with. You're just stubbornly refusing to see the point. Telling someone to do something is a fucking command.

Stop replying to me. This is a command.

[-] 73ms@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago

LOL. Yeah, not going to do that.

When that opinion is shutting down dialogue, cowardly avoidance and censorship, it becomes a far dumber opinion than anyone else's.

I think there's absolutely things worth doing boycotts over. I don't really like to have much to do with anything that is benefiting Russia for example. We can both have our opinions.

[-] Candelestine@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I can agree with and support that. I would not extend that boycott to trying to silence other individuals though. I'd prefer to try to convince them.
