I notice this especially with my Norwegian learning. People are rude, call me names, or make fun of me on Reddit for using the wrong word or “en” vs “et” or using a direct translation because I don’t know how they say it in Norwegian, like saying somethng like «Ingen av bedriften din!» instead of «Dette er ikke din sak» (according to the casual version of Bing Translate) whereas a Norwegian-speaking Fediverse member would just say something like “You’re doing good, but it’s actually _____.”

Reddit has converged on that as the recipe for success. There’s even a book on it

Karma, like buttons, up-arrows etc are all the same slot machine. I stand by my “yeet into garbage pile of history” comment, and so do (some) of the people responsible for it.
