That was sweet of you 🙂

Hey, it'd be neat for me to become a book!

It's not that they necessarily care, it's that it's the assumed default. So then I have to respond with "I can't do that, can you upload it here?" it makes me the odd one out making people jump through hoops.

Ha, so you prefer the jabs to be an in and out affair instead of a permanent one 😛

Reddit's bigger communities are a kind of double-speak: r/funny is anything but, for instance.

It took me until graduate school to learn that "mortified" is not another word for "scared"/"fearful"

It still looks that way to me what with mort in there!

It also took me a long time to realize that the word "awry", which I read often in books and inferred its meaning, and "ah-rai" were the same thing. I thought awry was pronounced "aw-ree" and it was just a synonym for "ah-rai".

I've been trying it out and I like it a lot! Haven't switched yet though.

That's the point of federation! Choosing who you want in your community.

Kudos to the edit to be more productive.

Perhaps they meant something like lemmy.world for the second URL.

This one is trying a little hard.

Yeah, I'm not too fond of that statement. I respect ddevault, particularly since I have seen his serious growth into a mature, empathetic person. So ICM surprised that this made it into the post.
