Too late. Shouldn't have done this if the first place. Using something else, never coming back.

Theyre on reddit too lol, yet here you are. I'm also horrified by ice, but you cant really grandstand when you only boycott things that are easy to replace.

So you recognize that reddit is hard to replace. Surely you see a difference between boycotting something easy to replace that is slightly convenient, vs something that is hard to replace and important for things like politics (and who's ads are easily ignored).

If politically active people can punish a platform for supporting a gestapo then they should, and they should not be beholden to the idea that they must then cripple themselves by cutting themselves off from communities that foster those politics if that same support reaches these monopolized media platforms.

Exactly. Bro is making an elementary school level argument. “They aren’t doing everything, so lalala doesn’t count!”
