The fact that you “try not to use it” is proof positive that the ‘euphemism treadmill’ has not gone past it.

Love that we’re relitigating this shit. Can’t wait for folks to start throwing around f*g and the N word. 2025 is great!!!

Yeah this site is going full-blown reddit. My time on Lemmy is quickly coming to an end, I feel. Sigh.

You should apply for a job in the trump administration—they’d love you there.

Fair point!

I just got downvoted in the comments above for basically having the EXACT same sentiment. I fucking hate it here.

I’m literally just talking, giving an opinion. Nothing was that fucking deep, just talking about my feelings about how a supposedly secure encrypted website was infiltrated by the motherfucking FBI…

And I’m downvoted? Fucking why? Every day Lemmy gets a little more like Reddit. Shit like this is why the numbers go down. Just spread that negativity—make everyone feel like shit.

Downvote this while you’re at it! Fuck yall!

I’ve always felt like Signal isn’t half as secure as it claims to be, and articles like this don’t help that feeling…

Lost me at Chalamet. Mega douche.

Insane that that’s your takeaway from this post. This had nothing to do with underage children, so why is your mind already there? So fucking weird.

Am american and I have never ever heard of someone spending “hundreds” of dollars on halloween candy. 99.9% of americans are not doing that.

What a pedantic (and incorrect) take. Luddite can absolutely mean a person who purposefully avoids technology.

I’m sure I’ll get downvoted, but words can have multiple meanings and take on new meanings over time. Luddite is one of them. This article used it properly.

And anyone who disagrees with me can kiss my linguistics-degree-holding ass.

Norway isn’t on this map

I made a random comment about a movie’s premiere date on r/FauxMoi without realizing that FauxMoi had blocked my old reddit account years ago. (I have absolutely no clue why FauxMoi blocked my first account.) Reddit viewed me using a new account to comment on FauxMoi as “ban evasion” and now I’m perma-banned from reddit. I received no warning, no notice, I had no idea I was even banned from commenting on FauxMoi.

Every time I make a new account, regardless of the email or where I make the account, the ban follows me. I tried to explain the mistake, that I hadn’t realized my old reddit account was banned from FauxMoi and that I’d take down my (perfectly innocuous, on-topic) comment. Nope. They didn’t care. I’m just fucked. Thanks mods at FauxMoi, hope yalls choke.

I don’t think we need AI to know they’re all psychopaths

Upvoting cause this comment made me literally lol

Neither. Cock.

Fuck your shitty waste of space lawn :)

I fucking love this energy. Such a hilariously cranky reply to an article I thought was interesting. Bless chonkyninja 🤣

I’m cool with this! OpenAI ought to send those suicide instructions it created for that teen and send it to those pigs for some inspo :)
