The difference in the comment section between the source and here is quite impressive.
I can't understand why people feel the need to throw so much hate in reaction to this kind of announcement.
There isn't even the beginning of a reflection, just pure hate.
It's sad, really.

- andrewmcwatters 2y agoIt’s really odd to me, too, seeing as that Apple products don’t scream overt conservatism, but clearly their product practices do.
- Fidelix 2y agoI don't think that word "conservatism" mean what you think

- latexr 2y agoIt’s not just comment sections. Pundits with large following can be very much the same. John Gruber, of Daring Fireball, is viciously anti-EU to the point he’s gone full looney. A handful of days after Threads launched he called it “the most fun app of the year” or some nonsense, and made fun of people in the EU (this as DMA-related). A few weeks ago I saw him compare the EU to Trump, only because some EU document had bolded words in a way he felt was haphazard. Every time I’m faced with one his posts, the replies are now full of the “old man yells at cloud” image.
- hs86 2y agoProbably another instance of people who somehow couple the success of their chosen team/group to their own self-worth. Depending on the intensity of the manifestation, we call it national pride, gang affiliation or John Gruber.
- EasyMark 2y agoBecause you’re on a site where a lot of people believe in less regulation and more free market? I would guess that’s the thing. And people have strong opinions on both sides.
