lmao

My 11 year old brother learned what rule34 was from Roblox staff because he tried to upload a model for a game he was making, and they denied it and said it was “rule34” when he asked why. The model was literally a cat

even funnier is the other cat screaming in the background in response

what in gods name is happening over there, between this and removing awards they’ve been acting really weird since the protest

aww such babies, i love the little scottish fold ears

How the fuck do you think language evolves? People say what sounds better or is more convenient. If they didn’t we would still be speaking like Shakespeare or have a dozen different conjugations for every use of a word.

One thing I’ve been wondering about is that since English is the main language used on the Internet and in international communication, and the replacement rate of wealthier white people in countries like the US and Canada is a lot lower than poorer Spanish, Chinese, etc. speaking immigrants, will English eventually end up like Latin where it splits and evolves into many separate languages while the original thing is only really used in formal/intellectual settings?

And my axe!

AAVE is a good example of this. Despite being branded as “street talk” or even “black people are too dumb to speak proper English” by racists, a lot of the so-called “mistakes” are actually just following grammar rules consistent with a variety of African languages, that held over after slaves were forced to speak English.

Oh duh I always hated the names of those subs. The only thing worse are subs like InterestingAsFuck and NextFuckingLevel which always gave the same vibes as a Watchmojo video.

I agree, but I also think that porn should still be welcome here. The issue is there needs to be better control over it entering the feeds, not that the communities themselves should be abolished.

yeah, kbin is probably the nicest looking reddit alternative i’ve seen. Really sleek design without leaning into the overly overly mobile-focused watered down New Reddit bs, while also not nearly as hideous as old reddit.

complexity does not inherently make your argument better. “Slavery is is horrible and evil but free black people shouldn’t have the right to vote” is a “nuanced opinion,” but that doesn’t mean it isn’t racist and terrible.

The biggest thing im afraid of happening to Kbin/the lemmyverse is that it will end up like Ruqqus, especially now that it seems to be swamped with trolls.

yeah “far left” in the US is just wanting basic human rights, something something overton window.

Everyone appreciates your effort here, ernest. Spez hasn’t gotten 92 upvotes on a comment in years lmao despite Reddit having millions of users, it really shows how the difference.
