It’s only been a few hours and they already have more users than the entire Fediverse did during its peak by yesterday after all of this recent drama. We are already fucked, I salute every one of you as the fediverse sinks.

How the fuck do you think language evolves? People say what sounds better or is more convenient. If they didn’t we would still be speaking like Shakespeare or have a dozen different conjugations for every use of a word.

One thing I’ve been wondering about is that since English is the main language used on the Internet and in international communication, and the replacement rate of wealthier white people in countries like the US and Canada is a lot lower than poorer Spanish, Chinese, etc. speaking immigrants, will English eventually end up like Latin where it splits and evolves into many separate languages while the original thing is only really used in formal/intellectual settings?

And my axe!

AAVE is a good example of this. Despite being branded as “street talk” or even “black people are too dumb to speak proper English” by racists, a lot of the so-called “mistakes” are actually just following grammar rules consistent with a variety of African languages, that held over after slaves were forced to speak English.

Oh duh I always hated the names of those subs. The only thing worse are subs like InterestingAsFuck and NextFuckingLevel which always gave the same vibes as a Watchmojo video.

I agree, but I also think that porn should still be welcome here. The issue is there needs to be better control over it entering the feeds, not that the communities themselves should be abolished.

wasn’t the calling the main thing Skype was used for tho?

they are only posting the “rule posts” in 196 communities, mostly centered around lemmy.blahaj.zone, but there’s a couple of other splinter subs. If you just avoid 196 you wont see it.
