Why use an edited version? It completely ruins the joke.

I think it’s less “this line is for emergencies” and more “our online process could takes days to get a response, here’s a line to a real human”.

I hate that this meme always implies Trump handed that dude something smart when it was just absolute bullshit.

Everyone has “custom” pronouns. Some just match possible preconceived notions about them.

This is not a comment on you, but I do the same thing and have come to realize it’s at least in part a response to being judged in some way (or feeling judged at least) over things I shared with my family, so now I just don’t share.

If it’s important to you, it might be worth having a conversation about why they are withholding and, if it’s for similar reasons, addressing why they feel that way and assuring them you’ll do your best to keep them from feeling bad about sharing.

Far Cry 3 was so frustratingly dumb and yet so popular. The gameplay was fine, but everyone was blowing up about the stupid ass sub-villain with his Philosophy 101 ”zingers" in “White, suburban YA saves ‘savages’ from themselves with horrendous war crimes” the game. It was really irritating.

As others have stated, it’s very little to do with being “prudes” and much more with being tired of horny anonymous posters just being horny. If it were something informative, that’s a whole other thing.

There’s finally an open github issue that seems to be acknowledged, but it’ll be some time before this feature (if ever) ever gets implemented.

Fwiw, the devs seem quite open to (even directly requesting) people coding features they want and having them added into the main code in future versions. So if anyone is able and willing to make a working version of that for Lemmy, it could be added quite soon, really.

Fair enough. Glad you got out!

I gotta ask, why did you never look at third-party options if you found it so miserable?

When you’re selecting languages, try holding ctrl when clicking the ones you want. It should allow you to select more than one.

Thanks for at least linking to the best rendition of it :)

have been pleasantly surprised to see very little “le narwhal bacons when?” shit so far

You’ve been away from there for a while huh? That’s ancient Reddit stuff at this point.

Several admins made it known that instances without captcha verification were getting bombarded with account verifications (lemmy.world got shut off from their email verification for a bit, even), and enabling captcha solved the issue. That only really happens with bots.

You can also see fairly dead instances getting 10s of thousands of users without any corresponding activity. That’s a pretty big sign there.

The dead can’t say one way or another how they would have felt, and using them as a voiceless weapon is pretty shitty.

What Spez is doing is bad enough on it’s own. There’s no need at all to disrespect the dead like that just to shore up your righteousness.

Could end up on Last Week Tonight, which would be interesting.
