I really hate these TIL posts where the post title doesn’t actually tell you the information. “Paints a different picture”? Okay, what picture? Also, what frequent assertion? I’ve literally never heard that lesbian couples have the most domestic violence.
its a bot that reposts from reddit. i just blocked them cuz its kinda antithetical to the point of the fediverse imho, also OP literally cannot respond lol
I’m aware that OP is a bot. Honestly that doesn’t bother me as much since Reddit still has more active rules moderation for many of their subs.
FWIW my complaint applies to plenty of the posts that are made on this community by humans too. There are too many posts where the title is just “TIL about XYZ” and there’s no explanation of what XYZ is.
DV
What do you do with all the time you save making titles useless?
Algospeak. The voluntary censoring of your own language to satisfy the advertising requirements of corporations who want to monetize your thoughts.
While I do understand the need for language guidelines on platforms, the nearly instant training of TikTok users to avoid or substitute brand-unfriendly language is disgusting.
edit to add: DV has been a common abbreviation for the term long before social media algorithms were in the public eye source (Google ngrams)
i know people add it to their filters and blocks as a potentially triggering topic. more relevant on mastodon with their custom content warning messages but there are definitely more reasons to do this than “algospeak.” also prevalent on tumblr a la “CW: DV, SA,” which again can be filtered out per user. hopefully this can make u a little less disgusted :)
esit 2: this comment is not a defense of this behavior? i have had to repeat several times in this discussion that i am not defending the action, just providing a parallel narrative that i happen to know a bit about. knowing why people do a thing doesn’t make me an advocate for that behavior, it just makes me someone who paid attention lol
My issue with it is that it ONLY serves to satisfy corporate goals, it doesn’t actually prevent people from being exposed to ideas or topics that might be distressing or disturbing to some users. It’s sucking corporate cock and being proud of it.
Pretty sure that makes it harder to filter things out if you use abbreviations for normal words. And this isn’t Tumbler. If the mention of these topics in a title is too much for you then you should seek more therapy immediately
edit to add: DV has been a common abbreviation for the term long before social media
Not common enough that I had heard the abbreviation before. (And I’m older than social media and the internet itself)
Maybe it’s common among people involved in the topic, but I’d bet the wider population doesn’t know what it means without some added context.
“algospeak.” also prevalent on tumblr a la “CW: DV, SA,”
I also don’t know what any of those 3 are intended to mean (without further context).
Excessive brevity destroys clarity.
it’s the seventh most common use case of course
unless there’s an actual reason to leave “domestic violence” out of a Lemmy post. I assume it’s a bad habit learned from corpo social media
I think they mean Delta V or the potential change in velocity. So it’s saying that a lesbian relationship has the highest potential to travel the furthest.
From that, I can extrapolate that lesbian relationships are the future of space travel and all future astronauts will be in lesbian relationships.
I heard NASA has been investigating lesbian relationship power as the source for their next heavy lifter, because of the high DV.
Do they have a solution for the raspberry jam problem?
(Tried to find a link for the term in case someone thinks it’s a sexist joke or something, but seems to be surprisingly hard. So I’ll just briefly explain that raspberry jam delta v is the acceleration or deceleration rate where the contents of a passenger compartment start to resemble said substance.)
