I’m sorry, are you talking about me?

Because I never said I supported data centers. I was simply pointing out what I see as the two-faced nature of this community. In this thread, many Lemmy users are openly cheering on thieves stealing supplies from AI data center construction sites, yet those same people will turn around and condemn someone for not sharing their opinions on other issues.

Multiple people have already made assumptions about my beliefs, put words in my mouth, and assigned positions to me that I never argued for in the first place.

And that is another issue I see frequently on Lemmy: people arguing against a position they invented rather than the one someone actually stated.

For example, it often goes something like this:

“You don’t like AI data centers, so you must be some kind of left-wing communist. Why don’t you go eat avocado toast while listening to lo-fi music?”

Except none of that follows from what was actually said. Disagreeing with one thing does not automatically place someone into a political category.
