Shoutout to our hard-working maintainers, first of all.

Wanted to open a space for the community to discuss this aspect of marketing/identity.

The internet is serious business.

I thought it was for shell script aficionados.

[–] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 days ago

Hmm, I like it here.

You don't owe anything to anyones prudishness.

Would a URL shortener work better for sharing Lemmy links/instances?

Does he know that x.com is literally one of the biggest website on the Internet?

I won't go so far as to use the word "normie" like this is 4chan, but I will say: I think it's fine. I'd rather have slow growth, thanks. I'm not the arbiter of what kind of users we should attract or anything, but if they have a problem with our silly name I don't want to hang out with them.

That's partly why I'm here. I don't want a big place where every normie shows up, and it just becomes facebook. Does this specific sever want to become a mega-platform?

I'd love it if the fediverse as a whole grew to that size. Any individual instance? No. That's kind of the whole point of the fediverse.

Why would we have opioid receptors if we weren’t Made to opiate?!

What's the point of VIP if no one's there to see you being a PI?
