- ninkendo 5y agoHow do you have a Quest 2 without a FB account?
- kfarr 5y agoOnly if you use it as a paperweight
- weare138 5y agoI've noticed there's been several suspect comments from Oculus 'owners'.
- mdoms 5y agoYeah there's some very obvious astroturfing going on in this thread.
- annadane 5y agoYou're not allowed to say that on HN (I don't disapprove of you saying it however and I've said the same thing myself - the point of my comment is that it's ridiculous to disallow comments like that)
- goatsi 5y agoThe rule for it is pretty straightforward, to quote dang about it: >As I've tried to explain many times (https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix=true&page=0&query=by:dang%20astroturf https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...), there are two problems: (1) real abuse is happening on the internet; and (2) internet users frequently imagine that they're seeing such abuse when in reality they are merely seeing something they dislike. Both problems are serious, but for entirely different reasons, and we need to be careful not to confuse them, since (2) is extremely common, indeed is the laziest internet production that exists. Allowing people to do #2 everywhere (so to speak) could easily destroy the community. >Fortunately, a simple rule turns out to suffice: don't post accusations of abuse unless you have some bit of evidence to go on. Someone else having a different view than you does not count as evidence. You need at least a shred of something objective, and if you don't have that, then you can't post accusations. Since the overwhelming majority of #2 posts have no evidence, that rules them out. Getting people to actually follow this rule is a different issue of course. What compelling evidence do you have?
- scrollaway 5y agoAm an Oculus owner. Am a real user (check my profile). Am not affiliated with Facebook. I love my Oculus device (life changing indeed as someone else put it in the thread above) and detest Facebook. Is it that hard to believe other people might be in a similar situation?
- Guillaume86 5y agoSame situation here, was actually talking about it on reddit yesterday too: > I care but I have a quest because there's no alternative, if there is one day I'll jump ship without looking back.
- stacker8888 5y agoThey forced me to create an account but don't actively use Facebook.
