I genuinely have multiple friends who use that word about themselves. It isn’t negative unless people perceive so.

That must be it
Just a language thing, sorry. In my country this word does not have any negative connotation.
I rest my case
Handicapped people might disagree
My account is 13, but lurked a bit before that. Never installed the official app. Used RES for desktop, and Boost for mobile.
Passwords and 2FA won’t stop you from being tracked when web browsing or using apps on your phone
Those are security guards, not privacy guards…
This is a problem for any web application. There are many solutions, none are perfect.
On some sites (like 4chan) you’re required to solve a captcha every single time you post, unless you pay a yearly fee not to.
To avoid it, you would need people actively monitoring, banning, and setting up bot detection patterns.
Then again, there are cheap services online where real people are hired to create human accounts and spam you anyway, so…
Not really, it’s just a fun expression. Kinda sounds like a propeller in the water.
This was how reddit was meant to be. Now every opinion the hive mind disagrees with gets downvoted to hell.
I’ve tried many times to convert my non-techy friends but it’s impossible.
It’s hard to argue with “literally everyone I know uses Messenger”.
I didn’t use the wiki until 50+ hours in. You need to make your own goals. I started by making a thief and just stealing my way to the top.
You can fairly easily make money and skill up by just running around carrying and selling shit. Specialize your first characters, make the next companions workers.
It’s very much a sandbox where you make your own story.
I use SMS in Denmark with people I don’t know personally. Apps like Telegram or WhatsApp aren’t common here (yet) unfortunately.
Everyone has Facebook and uses Messenger. The absolute worst of all the choices…
Why is this number everywhere?

It’s pretty common to have this as the only barrier. If someone got into my work PC they could easily take down a lot of critical infrastructure, if they knew where to look.
Terrible, but common.
Honestly I think once third-party apps get sorted with subscription or personal API keys, people will return and reddit will keep growing.
I do like the federated model though, and I’ll probably keep using Lemmy too. Feels much more like the “old” reddit from 10+ years ago. Probably because only the old school users have moved to Lemmy.
I used it a lot for Eve Online. Lots of big alliances/corps in the game defaulted to XMPP. Some used IRC or Slack when it came out. Nowadays everyone uses Discord though.
I’m forced to use Windows at work and would quit if WSL2 wasn’t available. Windows is just for the Outlook/Teams ecosystem and occasional IDE, but I mostly work out of my WSL terminal.
My point is that words are part of languages which change very fluidly, and you could make the same argument for hundreds of other words.
If the word isn’t considered bad by anyone hearing it or anyone it describes, nothing is wrong with it. Many meanings are different between your language and mine, even though they sound alike or share some etymology.
