Have you confused anti-consumer (doing something that harms people buying goods and services) with anti-consumerist (being against the buying and selling of goods and services)? Lemmy is not anti-consumer. It’s the opposite almost always. It is frequently anti-capitalist or anti-consumerist though. These are not the same thing.
I can’t speak for Jess, but personally I’d love a reply to Cethin’s comment. Did you confuse “anti-consumer” with “anti-consumerism”? Because honestly that’s the only way I can see that your comments make sense.
Sony wanted / wants to stop making physical media.
Lemmy goes up in arms that this is anticonsumer
Then goes right back to being anticonsumer themselves.
I found it funny that the usual cries of how bad buying things from big business is stopped because they wanted to buy things from a bit business.
Not that Sony are the good guys in this story. Only that Lemmy became the funny guys
I still don’t understand. What thing did people start being anti-consumer with? You didn’t explain that.
Life in general from what they’re posting!

Lemmy the developers, or some people on Lemmy who you think are representative of the entire platform?
Can’t possibly say.
I’m talking about the vibe and theme of the platform itself, not any particular people or group. How could I possibly get that data?
Wtf is with this coy nonsense? Are you a troll or something?
If I were a troll I’d have something clever to reply to you but I don’t know what you’re after here.
