I only say data the way it’s said in Star Trek. Same for database.

100% of the time I’m using an app, just like I did on reddit. Don’t even know what the desktop site looks like (jk)

I can hear this comment

🤔 So it’s ok for Russia to take them over?

Ally or not, shouldnt we support democracies against invasion by authoritarians?

I dunno but framing this as “Biden’s war against Russian forces” really seems to ignore the fact that, you know, Russia invaded a sovereign ally and the US is helping defend it

I bought a lifetime pass a decade ago. This doesn’t affect me, right? Not that it makes me want to stay.

I’d give this some odds of reducing trash pollution. It can seem frustrating, but it MAY change people’s behavior in a way that reduces litter. Behavioral economics can be counterintuitive.

EDIT: What matters is the result. If this makes more people litter, they should probably bring back the bins. If this reduces litter, they should keep it this way, regardless of how inconvenient or “stupid” you the reader find it.

I read them, still want to leave.

If any of it was reproducable it would science instead of pseudoscience

Ive gotten real jobs this way.

If I wanna type “f*ck” instead of “dang” I’ll do what I want

There are people who sound just like this 😅

Aside from what everyone else has said regarding the ads: Boost is an amazing app and I don’t browse Lemmy without it!

Also, I bet it is more socially acceptable to take a beat and think before speaking than you think. I learned that for myself and it helped. It’s not as jarring as you might think. It can even make people appreciate what you say more. If it’s really taking long, you can stall a bit with some “I need to think about that one, hmm” lines.

This also avoids every month from having a Friday the 13th

The problem is trying to get people into “Lemmy”, where they have to understand federation and choose an instance, etc - instead of trying to get people into a specific instance. I know you don’t want one bloated instance, but if that was the mission it would be a lot easier to get people on board.
