Shoutout to our hard-working maintainers, first of all.
Wanted to open a space for the community to discuss this aspect of marketing/identity.
It is an an immune system against the normies.
I am dead serious. I think it’s a good idea. It won’t last forever before they think it’s cool and start adopting it, but it’ll work for a while.
What’s the polite way to call someone a lil bitch. Genuinely curious because I wanna be PC but also an asshole. Anyway the creature in the post is a lil bitch ass

I believe that the most socially acceptable way would be (and remember that it’s an example, and not directed at you):
“fuck you, and your lil bitch ass attitude. You don’t know your father because he never even liked you, your mother blows strangers for bags of gummy bears and validation, and your ears look weird”
You don’t owe anything to anyones prudishness.
“I can’t link this, it doesn’t fit within my corporate values!”
Yeah that’s why I’m here. The name makes this place much more difficult for corpo scum to infest it.
Most of us know to expect this to stay another largely pointless, niche project with little broad impact.
We’re not hitting 100k MAU, we’re not improving the internet, we’re not dethroning reddit. We’re just existing alongside them, in their shadow, with a slow front page of largely mid nonsense that sticks around for a couple days, with several communities’ comments mostly coming from 1-5 “power”-users.
And people want it to stay that way.
What does getting bigger actually accomplish? I’ve been through enough Eternal Summers to know it sucks to lose a place you like to the swarm of terminally online bootlickers who infest every place that actually has people they can rule over. I’m good
There are a lot of interests I have which do not have enough users in communities here to make sharing things worthwhile, personally. Why waste time sharing art or music or other original content in places where it gets little engagement?
There’s a reason the front page is primarily covered in memes, news, technology news, and politics, and that’s because those require little barrier of entry to participate in for those tech savvy enough to already be here.
If people can’t handle the word shit, they probably shouldn’t be looking at shit on Lemmy. Lmao
The commenter themselves used big f potty word 😱
Must have goody two-shoes friends
Was just about to link you to this post!
In my post, I removed the link to the original thread after someone in this comment section forgot to attack the idea instead of the person. Tsk tsk, chilling effects when we do that!
RE: chilling: It’s hard to find an idea expressed yet which is not shared by others. Attack the person, and the opinion stays, but in the future it may be hidden from view. And that’s just not better for anyone.
Thanks for sparking a big discussion!
