Edit: For clarity, the "you" used here is the collective you and not "you" as in the account I'm replying to.

For the record, I agree with your example and personally won't eat/buy The Lord's Chicken™. But do you really think you've changed anyone's mind? Probably not. All you've accomplished is making yourself feel morally superior. You don't like something? Fine, more power to you. Don't buy/support the thing (you should see the ever-growing list of companies and subsidiaries I won't buy from). But also don't slide into the DMs of other people's lives and shit all over what little brings them joy. Why is this hard?

    edit: thinking about it, you probably were talking about people on the fediverse doing this out of turn and not the example I was thinking of.

    I was. Collective "you" and not a personal "you". Could've been more clear I suppose. I usually try to say "one" instead of "[collective] you" but sometimes that makes the phrasing awkward.
