Comment on Nintendo Is Already Punishing Switch 2 Users Over Piracy ‘Suspicions’

  Luckily at the moment they have a lot more upvotes than downvotes. Probably because they are providing information and aside from the “you are stupid for breaking (a likely-predictable) TOS and expecting nothing to happen” judgment, it’s pretty neutral on passing judgment on the bigger argument at hand: whether this policy should be here in the first place.

  I agree with your sentiment, at least, I think Lemmy unfortunately is too eager to namecall anyone who does not share the general popular opinions of the site, which is a shame because I often saw reasonable, civil takes that disagree with the popular opinion written out, and then a reasonable, civil reply to that disagreement… almost. The author just has to toss on some insult at the end. Feels bad to see. I clicked this post because I was genuinely interested in the news but I do have to avoid any kind of news around any big gaming corporation because I’m rather sick of nastiness in the comments, especially when backspacing on just one word per post would render the whole thing a rational discussion.

  I say this as a member of the anti-corporate Lemmy hivemind, by the way.

    If you see personal insults you should report the comment. Instances and communities have rules. Downvotes aren’t insults though

  Things you should never get caught liking on Lemmy:
  Nintendo
  Windows
  Auth-right, lib-right, or lib-left politics
  A can of beans
  Police
  Man vs bear hypothetical CalyxOS
  Etc.

    a can of beans

    I’m pretty sure we like beans here. Unless you’re trying not to shit for 3 or more days.

    I know Lemmy’s objection to most of these and I honestly dislike them too (oh no, brainwashed drone alert!), except: I wasn’t aware that Lemmy had something against a can of beans. Genuinely, could someone please explain? Is this a reference to something, or is it genuine dislike towards canned beans?

      It’s a reference to this post. A lot of people found it funny but a lot of lemmings also thought it was insulting and spam

  They didn’t even get downvoted, but you decided to get angry about this imaginary just in case. What’s wrong with you?

      Oh no 😱

      It’s funny that in lemmy vs reddit threads people always bring up that there is no karma farming, but then you see this nonsense.

        Stop moving the goalposts. Nobody cares about the votes themselves

  Yeah I was thinking the same, first few votes were down lol. Now you seem to catch the fire for pointing it out. Hope you care as much about votes as I do
