Back in May, we talked about a change that Nintendo made to its EULA that essentially amounted to “We’ll brick your console if we don’t like how you use it.” Now, Nintendo w…
Luckily at the moment they have a lot more upvotes than downvotes. Probably because they are providing information and aside from the “you are stupid for breaking (a likely-predictable) TOS and expecting nothing to happen” judgment, it’s pretty neutral on passing judgment on the bigger argument at hand: whether this policy should be here in the first place.
Things you should never get caught liking on Lemmy:
Nintendo
Windows
Auth-right, lib-right, or lib-left politics
A can of beans
Police
Man vs bear hypothetical
CalyxOS
Etc.
I know Lemmy’s objection to most of these and I honestly dislike them too (oh no, brainwashed drone alert! Honestly, I consider myself quite lucky I hit a group where I actually do match the hivemind instead of being different yet again. Except I think Lemmy has a much higher tolerance for political posts, and for personal insults towards people who don’t share the hivemind than I do, but hey, you’ll probably never hit 100% consensus with any big group), except: I wasn’t aware that Lemmy had something against a can of beans. Genuinely, could someone please explain? Is this a reference to something, or is it genuine dislike towards canned beans? What’s wrong with canned beans?
Stop moving the goalposts. Nobody cares about the votes themselves.
This is about observing a fact and recounting it to someone who’s misinformed about the situation and even has the audicity to gaslight someone over it
Yeah I was thinking the same, first few votes were down lol. Now you seem to catch the fire for pointing it out. Hope you care as much about votes as I do (which is not at all)
Sadly (at the time of writing) you’re just getting downvoted, because Lemmy’s hateboner for Nintendo is more important than context

If you see personal insults you should report the comment. Instances and communities have rules. Downvotes aren’t insults though
Oh yeah, I do report every time now, but I still see way too many.
Am aware downvotes are not insults and I don’t report downvotes, but also aware a lot of people use them as a plain disagree button.

I’m pretty sure we like beans here. Unless you’re trying not to shit for 3 or more days.
How dare you

It’s a reference to this post. A lot of people found it funny but a lot of lemmings also thought it was insulting and spam
Thanks for the explanation!
I do not know the norms of shitpost communities, but as an outsider, I think it fits in perfectly.
They didn’t even get downvoted, but you decided to get angry about this imaginary scenario just in case. What’s wrong with you?
I was sitting at like, -2 when they made that comment so not imaginary. Please try to give the benefit of the doubt before jumping to conclusions
Oh no 😱
It’s funny that in lemmy vs reddit threads people always bring up that there is no karma farming, but then you see this nonsense.
