I tell people this and they complain that they cannot part with their precious marketplace. Fucking slaves.

    I mean, better Facebook marketplace than buying new. Marketplace has basically entirely replaced Craigslist for buying used stuff, it's really the only game in town. If they only use it for the marketplace, things could be worse.

    You're preaching deaf ears.

    FB Marketplace has crushed all alternatives in many places. But find one where's that's not the case, and be sure someone there is going to lecture you on how THEY don't need it therefore YOU shouldn't use it, or they never buy/sell anything second hand online, but they absolutely know how you should do that how you shouldn't do that, without proposing any alternative whatsoever.

    I remember the glorious time when beginners seeking help on Linux were getting answers such as "it works on my machine" or "you don't need to do that, I don't , instead I do blablabla". Same vibe.

    Alright, my bad. Consumerism is totally great actually. Everyone should just keep buying things new and throwing them away when they don't want them anymore.

    Are you crazy? Everyone should support a soul-stealing anti-minority fascist bank that exists to fund a child-raping criminal dictator- all so they have conveniently buy and sell piles of junk they won’t give a shit about in another year!

    … dude. You won’t ever justify supporting this shit.

    Who said anything about piles of junk? I buy stuff I was going to buy anyway, just secondhand. My money goes to other people instead of a corporation. Which soul-stealing corporation would you prefer that money go to?

    You support everything Facebook is doing. Take a bow. You’re hurting a lot of people.

    Shit man, you never seen The Good Place? You can't do anything without hurting a lot of people. Whatever device you're using right now to make your point definitely involved slave labor somewhere in the supply chain, likely child slave labor. Take a bow, you're hurting a lot of people.

    Or, y'know, take a nuanced approach like an adult.

    LMAO… the reaches you people will go to to circumvent the guilt of supporting META. It’s always interesting. Shame does some fucked up things to a persons head.

    You enjoy selling all your junk bud. I hope it’s worth the people that suffer for it.
