I think the discussion below your comment is good, but your comment, and the community response (in the form of comment votes), illustrates a problem I have with the lemmy community.
Counter arguments are important.
It seems Lemmy has an even bigger problem than Reddit did with circle jerks. Any counter argument that goes against the grain is immediately pounced on here. Especially if you don't write a page long disclaimer that you don't necessarily agree with the decision, I'm one of you, etc.
I simply pointed out that <hated company> may have had a good reason to consider <3rd party plugin> a big enough legal liability to triage out of their store for the time being, based on some half remembered related knowledge of murky legal details of the past.
You immediately implied that I'm some sort of corporate shill, even if it was politely worded. And the community piled on in response.
It would be nice if there was at least an attempt to understand both sides of an argument here.
Are,…we,..the baddies?
But what about all those highly voted articles about how OTHER social media sites are dangerous echo chambers!
Very fair!
Ha. The downvotes - to what seems like a reasonable reply (even if people disagree) - seem like they're proving you right :)
