The decision to buck federal government guidelines was one of many that led to serious repercussions for Texas residents who rely on Medicaid. Among them were children forced to forgo or postpone lifesaving operations, doctors say.
Sub cannot refer to subreddit outside the context of reddit. You say it can only be used exclusively for one thing only and disregard its general definition as a prefix. That’s like claiming sub cannot refer to a submarine in a marine context because “it’s already short for subreddit”
doesn’t necessarily need be a part of another word, can also be used as a noun on its own, just as part of a bigger whole. If it necessarily needs to be a prefix, think of subpage.
Why’d I need to have heard it in order to use it. But yes, I heard people use it on lemmy to refer to communities
So people need to copy other people’s usage for it to be justified? What kind of dumb warped logic is that. It makes sense on its own. How hard is that to get
What is wrong is not me here. Look, I get it. It’s called a subreddit on Reddit. But this is Lemmy and we don’t have subs. We have communities. And there’s a community for world news, but this isn’t it
What do you have against calling it a sub? Yeah, that’s what I said, non world news, whats wrong with you mate
The same thing someone at Mastodon would have against calling what people post there “tweets.” It’s not the right word.
Aha. Semi good point. But sub is a much more general word. See other comment
Since “sub” is short for “subreddit,” no it isn’t.

Stopped reading at the insult. I did not insult you. I was entirely cordial. If this is how you talk to people, no wonder you use Reddit terminology.
fine, I removed the insult.
Ok if it’s not subreddit
A) what does it stand for, and
B) where did you hear it from?

Because they came from reddit and call them subreddits
Just take the L dude

sub is used as a noun countless times. Why’d you bother being the language police anyway. People get what you mean, so it’s fine anyway
As shorthand for “subreddit” rofl
No. Way more things. Submarine, subtitles, suburbs, subscriber.
Just give up
