Reading the quote, It doesn’t seem like that huge of a win.

Trump lies so often that him accidentally telling the truth seems like random chance.

The best example of good manliness in media I can think of is Bandit from Bluey.

The options are pretty slim if a cartoon dog from a children’s show is humanity’s best example of being a good man.

Is it too late to avoid perpetuating the Reddit culture of adding “Porn” to titles of Fediverse communities?

As you can see in your title and description for this post, you have to stop and reiterate every time that your community is safe for work. It’s just bad branding.

Why not:

sublimeguitars

stunningguitars

pureguitars

guitar-awe

Woah, imagine niche communities of incredible photography that all use -awe, as a suffix. And then there’s an accompanying sister community with -aww as a suffix.

Could have everything cute that features a guitar and a puppy or whatever in guitaraww. And stunning guitar gear and photography in guitarawe.

Umm… weird question. I guess I still don’t “get” the fediverse. How do I click on the link to view and join your community?

It isn’t marked up by a link in my Memmy app and I’m not sure what to do with it.

Standard wedding photography is set up to make photos look “old”. And it’s so hideous and awful. Most filters used for wedding photography look atrocious.

Let major moments in time look like they were experienced at that time! I’m looking at you, black and white photograph from 2016. Artificially making something old, when at one time they were the present, gives so much incongruity to the experience.

Let something as important as a wedding day look like it’s a product of that time. Not from decades previously.

They’re trying to solve one of the hardest problems in Computer Science: Naming things.

What do you call the framework, or design system—that thing that’s not quite a glossary of the terms—we’re going to use to describe the meta conversations around design?

“Design language” encompasses the colors, spacing, tokens, typography ramps, general rules, and all the other fiddly bits to unify on so that the more interesting parts of design and user experience can happen.

Naming things is hard :/

That’s a good question. I don’t know.

Just speculating, the upvote/downvote does help a user know what is expected behavior and some understanding to build from.

It also provides a rich incentive to post because “number go up” feels good.

I’d love to know YouTube’s data on hiding the dislike button. It wasn’t great for viewers, but it may have had an effect on creator satisfaction. But I don’t know for sure.

I can strike up a conversation with most strangers in real life pretty easily.

But online? There’s almost zero context. Even something as simple as the weather makes a load of difference for the small talk that can develop into richer conversations later.

Online social anxiety, especially forums like this one where you get a grade (the upvote/downvote), is very understandable.

Yeah! It’s what makes being an adult great! I can choose to spend time with my friends.

Do you go to the movie theater by yourself?

It’s just a tv show. I went to watch parties for Legend of Korra, anime, movies, and board game nights.

I’m not sure there’s much more to get

A watch party for people that like the television show and fandom surrounding My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

My wife and I are huge nerds

I met her at my university’s Brony club. I sat next to her because she had a sketchbook open. I brought out my own sketchbook and struck up a conversation.

We had a two-year courtship and have been married for 6 years now.

You know how hand sanitizer kills 99.7% of germs?

The current strain of tumblr user that survived the porn ban leans more aromantic/asexual. With less competition this new strain has thrived, and can solely focus on its main food source: fandoms for obscure media.

The English language is missing a gender neutral term for a cow/bull.

Cows are female

Bulls are male

Steers are castrated bulls

Cattle - the term for multiple cows and/or bulls and/or steers

It’s odd because every other animal with gendered language has a gender neutral term. Take chicken for example.

Hens are female

Roosters (or Cocks) are male

Capons are castrated roosters

It’s so nice to have a word like chicken to describe all these animals. But no word for that exists for cow/bull in English.

The writer of the tumblr post above either didn’t know the right word to use would be “Bull,” or the writer wanted to make sure they were understood so used the word Cow. Which… linguistically at this point may have become the gender neutral term for this animal because people need one.

Cow is such a common word, and bull is so uncommon that to be understood by everyone, cow might just be the best word.

Though anyone with knowledge of animal husbandry would be baffled because by the strict definition cows are always female.

I’m sorry you had to learn this nightmare language.

There are few things that boost inspiration and innovation quite like a competent competitor.

I still don’t feel comfortable here. Lemmy feels too much like an echochamber of the same opinions. The lack of diversity makes me feel more comfortable on tumblr than Lemmy at the moment.

It’s frustrating when I do need to check Reddit for any niche things. I love forums, but find chatrooms like Discord anxiety inducing. Sometimes the only forum for a niche topic is a subreddit :/

It’d be cool if CGPGrey remade his “What is Reddit” video, but exchanged it for: “What is Lemmy”

He unlisted that video, so I don’t think he has that popular of an opinion of Reddit these days.

Celebrities like him joining would be a big help.

I suspect you aren’t the target audience.

Most mobile game marketing is done with ads in other free-to-play mobile games. Unless you play those types of games regularly, you’re unlikely to come across it.

I don’t touch any game I can’t pay for in full once and be done. So I know I’m not the target audience.

Is open source catching up still? Or have the goalposts moved too much since then?
