      While it is true that a major stake in discord is owned by Chinese tech and the company has a long track record of spying on users, and discords hegemony over community stimies the growth of other communities, telling people to switch without being willing to explain why doesn’t make you the hero. It makes you a jerk

          What’s your goal then? Do you want people to make better choices for the web, or do you just want a license to be a jerk?

              Not explaining yourself just makes you look like an idiot. If you explain yourself some people may look into what you’re saying or they may think you’re a jerk. When you don’t all you’re doing is being a petulant nuisance who presumably can’t even explain what they’re advocating for.

              You seriously think saying “this thing bad” and refusing to elaborate is an effective form of advocacy in any sense of the word?
