Yeah, I can tell why this is from adhddd.com, it’s all about assertiveness. People with ADHD in general (including myself, to an extent) have trouble with being assertive, so most of the phrases in this chart try to change a meek or mild-mannered response to a more assertive one. I think part of the struggle of life is finding balance because while some of these are generally improvements, others are generally worse, and the difference will depend on the tone you’re going for and the person that you’re sending the email.
That’s purposeful I think. The difference between men and women’s glasses is fairly subtle, but I have definitely noticed that men’s glasses lend a more masculine look to someone and women’s glasses lend a more feminine look to someone.
Unfortunately it’s become part of internet lore, I think it will last a long time as a reference or old in-joke. Luckily Lemmy is also giving us new ones, like beans or the 3-day no-poop challenge.
I wash my coat from time to time because I consider and have considered it to be part of my wardrobe. For my belt, I suppose I kinda just considered it as an accessory and it never occurred to me to clean it.
I have some clothes that fit well enough that I don’t need a belt in order for them to stay up. I do use a belt for some of my clothes though.
I suppose in this case it would be going on a date to bitch to your date partner about people bitching their exes.
Indeed. I’m not a super big fan of Capitalism in general, but often times private company owners are at least sensible. Shareholders on the public market have a collective mentality of “MORE MONEY!!!” and some company models just aren’t compatible with that, especially social media companies which are barely profitable to begin with.
Most of that traffic is probably lurkers and content consumers. Reddit will continue chugging along for a bit, but the loss of power users and mods is about guaranteed to wither the platform over time.
I think it’s really cool here. The people have been mostly friendly, the communities I’m following are decently active, and new features are being added every day. I honestly have very few complaints.
My personal hope is that the ActivityPub standard prevents this from happening. After all, I’ve seen decent federation between Lemmy and KBin and they’re entirely different platforms, nevermind a fork of the same software.
Yeah, the smaller communities on Reddit were still really nice, which is why I wasn’t initially eager to leave. It’s unfortunate that it had to turn so shitty, but I honestly knew it was coming as soon as they announced that they were going public. The stock market and shareholders are really bad at building things with longevity, so when a corporation goes public it usually starts making bad but short-term profitable decisions until it goes under.
They changed from inside jokes to community jokes. It’s sort of like how there are jokes among programmers that any of the tens or hundreds of thousands of us would get, but would fly over the heads of people not in the industry. Reddit jokes just turned into something that someone would get if they were a Redditor.
Right now all reviews are private feedback because the app is early access, but once the app doe its first full release version that will change.
As a note though, wefwef is FOSS. It’s GitHub page is linked in the web app and there are instructions to host a version of it yourself, if you so desire.
Theoretically, something like c/deliciousfood or c/foodpics. I don’t have strong feelings on this issue, but there are alternative names that would work.
During the final days I spent on the platform, Reddit was starting to become very generic. Many subreddits, despite being about theoretically different topics, devolved into a generic Reddit frontpage community. Even if Lemmy becomes a lot more popular, my hope is that the communities here will stay somewhat distinct and won’t become as much of circlejerks.
Indeed. The growth here seems organic to me, so hopefully that’s a good sign for our future.
Seriously: 6
Unseriously: 7
Um, I think someone may have hit you upside the head because it’s obvious and clear that my way is the best.
