Doing things that you know are wrong just because they're aren't laws against them is an incredibly horrible attitude to have. It makes you an unethical piece of shit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (1 child) New to Capitalism? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] rants_unnecessarily@piefed.social 1 point 2 months ago Nope.

Besides which, they didn't say they support profits over human welfare. They said that corporations will always maximise profits. Yes, they could have delivered this pearl of wisdom in a more digestible tone, but what they said is true nevertheless.

There is actually an established process for this. We have rules. If you think someone has contravened the rules you report them and then a moderator decides whether that person is in fact welcome. In fact, telling people they are not welcome is probably a contravention of the rules in many communities. permalink fedilink source parent
