I think it’s another one of those things where words and phrases change meaning over time.

Righteous is equal to justifiable. Indignant is equal to showing anger.

Logically, it should mean justifiably angry. Often times, people will just ignore and skip over the first word and will only properly read “indignant”.

I think it’s similar to when people say words like “irregardless”. They use it to mean “regardless”. If you break the word down, the double negative makes it a positive. It looks like it should read as being the same as “regarding”, but people had other ideas lol

Another fun one: “eggcorn” has been added to some dictionaries as a synonym for “acorn”.

What do you suggest then? I’m listening. There has to be some in-between that you must see.

You’re making it out as if there’s an easy solution that makes everyone happy.

It’s always odd when people stretch inclusivity to mean that absolutely everyone should be able to freely breeze past any and all possible barriers, with no effort.

Internet security, you guys. There has to be SOME minimum activity requirement, or this whole site would be swamped with an insane number of bots. There are multiple written tutorials and video tutorials that tell you exactly what to click and when, in order to sign up. How much easier does it need to be to join? What can you do beyond a video walkthrough for account creation? How the hell did they join reddit? I just don’t get it.

Sometimes these topics kind of remind me of people like the parents who argue that babies and toddlers belong at raves and busy nightclubs. Sometimes having multiple different groups are ok. You don’t usually see videos about how to fix your car on the cooking channel. You also don’t usually get proper accounting advice from random insect documentaries.

I left because of how reddit treated the 3rd part app Devs, suddenly forcing them to cancel subscriptions halfway through the year. (They could have given the Devs a heads up, but chose not to.) I left because of the libel that was being spread about a dev. For me, it wasn’t that they wanted to charge money to use reddit, it’s how they went about it that made me leave and not return.

Of course, they also forgot about blind people and moderating tools. They then kicked many mods for voicing their opinion and/or participating the blackout, even if the subreddit in question was in agreement with them.

I don’t see Sync doing any of that, so please speak for yourself on why the migration happened.

Thank you! Jebora was definitely missing that feature.

Personally, I don’t even want to toe that line.

I think a good start before all of that would be for struggling instances to tell their user base that they are struggling.

Not going to lie, awards like that would probably make me start looking for another new platform again. I don’t want that part of reddit, personally. I want comments that are there to be there, not comments that are only there to get the most positive feedback. For me, doing this would take lemmy further away from being an open forum, and move it closer towards being a lame popularity contest. I can only see the same jokes so many times.

Bad actors may use it to manipulate you or cause problems in other aspects of your life (HELLO data breaches!).

This is a hypothetical. Think about all of the normal stuff people could see about you on Facebook. Would you also want those strangers to have your other personal information and possibly passwords? How about your boss? School? Insurance agency? Bank? Someone who works at one of those places, and still remembers that information after they clock out?

Let’s say there isn’t a data breach. They also use that information to try to get you to click ads, even if those ads might be unsafe to click.

Please answer something for me. What is it that makes you think that Zuckerberg would act in your best interests? What would stop him from turning around, selling data again? How can you know that he will keep that data in trustworthy spaces, and away from bad actors?

I wouldn’t even give my own parents access to that level of information unless I absolutely had to. I’m certainly not happier about a stranger having access to it.

Oof, I hear you on that.

It’s like trying to do customer service 24/7 while on the clock from all angles.

Then you have the stuff that people tell you but don’t want you to do anything about. You have to follow that (when reasonable) to keep your team’s trust in you. I want to make sure that they feel safe coming forwards if they have a problem. I want to be the team lead that I wished I had when I started working.

Many people heavily avoid a few of our supervisors over poor tact and empathy. A guy had to go to the hospital one day for a broken hand that happened at work. His supervisor insisted that he brought in a doctors note the same day. He understandably quit. I couldn’t begin to list the number of HR complaints that this supervisor has had against them. Nothing skeevy, luckily, the person is just very unlikable and short tempered. People in other departments avoid this supervisor like the plague. Some will literally physically try to hide behind stuff when this supervisor walks in so they don’t have to worry about talking to them. No, I don’t know why this supervisor is still there.

I’m lucky in the sense that I’m good at calming most situations and figuring stuff out. It kind of feels like my job believes that they need me to stay there for that.

I am one of the few people who is good at dealing with that particular supervisor, which is kind of ironic because I totally laughed in their face for raging at me over a dumb thing that someone else did.
