I don’t even know what to think about this one. I’m not angry, more confused than anything. There’s only one mod there so i asked them, and they said “It’s against policy. It’s the abbreviations policy.”
I see no such policy anywhere, so who knows what’s going on. Is it only the NYT that can’t be abbreviated? What about the US? Is LOL forbidden too? And if so, why are we forbidden from laughing there!
They didn’t even remove the comment.
The mod is user qrstuv. Maybe the only abbreviation allowed is when they say one? That’s a power trip!
I really doubt that but it’s not hard to figure out from the context. It’s like me writing Yle when talking about some news or sources. From context and a search you’d figure out that it’s a news org.
Don’t think people that are on Lemmy will have an issue figuring out. We are a bunch of nerds here.
Oh not at all, I was just saying I don’t think most people overall would know the acronym offhand. But if you meant people on Lemmy, it might be the case, especially with context.
