But I thought everyone would boycott Nintendo for being too greedy and bricking everyone and their mother's device right after launch? And all the games play better on other platforms? And Nintendo is only for kids?
That right there is why social media, and especially Reddit, is circlejerk bullshit.
Jfc what a defeatist ass attitude, I'm not buying a switch 2, are you?
Bringing attention to issues is a good thing, just because the result doesn't pan out like you hoped or expected or whatever the fuck this response indicates your position is, doesn't mean it had no effect at all.
Coming to Lemmy I've massively improved my knowledge of Linux and have moved away from centralized services in general and moved toward self hosting much more then I would have otherwise without the influence of users here. Everyone isn't doing this so clearly it's just a circle jerk right?
Yeah but there a few basic facts even you need to acknowledge:
So when this platform is the exact opposite it makes it look like a circlejerk or at least an echo chamber
That's saying the same thing as the first person, just because it's a small group right now doesn't mean it's not worth spreading the information and sentiment, I for one talk to people in real life about my issues and why I won't financially support Nintendo, do you?
The only Nintendo console I have is my Wii, thats about it and I dont personally plan on getting another one. Its less a boycott and more I lost intrest after my 3DS broke.
I'm not everyone. I haven't bought it. Popularity does not equal morality.
PREACH!
