Ultimately, if you don't want to buy a new phone, don't.

Could you have made a more vacuous comment? Obviously people shouldn't buy every new toy that comes out, that doesn't change the fact that 90% of the blame—and 90% is a hard floor—belongs to the people who waste the Earth's resources pinching it off in the first place and then waste even more in protectionism and generally making sure there are as few viable alternatives as possible.

Whelp, your point can still be made without the first sentence. The fediverse has this reputation of being unfriendly which push newcomers away, so we'll have to do something about it ourselves. Something as simple as not being snarky unless it's absolutely necessary would help the fediverse community a lot. Cool template btw, I'm going to save for later.

Imagine how shocked I was to discover that our friend pimento64 also casually revealed themselves to be a homophobe.

Care to explain what the fuck you're talking about?

Imagine how shocked I was to discover that our friend BraveSirZaphod casually revealed themselves to be a maniac who butchers teenage runaways in his basement. No, I don't care to explain it.

Edit: oh of course you're the same fucking dude. Get a real hobby.
