  • If you don’t mind, I will weigh in, with my opinion.

    When you get a drivers license, you agree to follow the laws of the road, or face consequences. Same thing for most things we do outside established rights. Hell, even with things within established rights.

    Some things are clearly written. Some are social contracts.

    By signing up for (anti)social media, or platforms where the option to up and down vote exist, you are agreeing to let people take those actions on your content.

    Would you go to a seafood restaurant, and complain to them you’re allergic to shellfish? I would hope not. You wouldn’t demand a company to change their very nature to accommodate you, knowing that you’re the outlier.

    By complaining on the very platform that offers the feature you’re complaining about, you’re not voicing an “unpopular opinion”, you’re putting your hypocrisy on display, front-and-center.
