Then stop already. Stop mentioning the name. Stop posting articles about it. Stop sharing articles about it on other social media.

You know what's immoral? Posting ragebait articles about a platform because you know users will engage.

I'm sure if we just ignore rich and powerful people, they'll go away.

They won't. But complaining about them on Lemmy and Bloomberg is empowering them.

[–] TwilightVulpine 3 points 1 year ago

I get your point that major media outlets constantly talking about them is empowering them, but pretending that Lemmy talking about it has any effect whatsoever is vastly overestimating how consequential this place is.

I know a lot of people here are just sick to hear of the matter but lets not pretend that not talking about it is a moral stance.
