The last few posts made here, they’ve shown up, made the most inane, idiotic, and pointless comments, upvoted each other in a frenzy of circle jerking, and generally made a pest of themselves.
They’re a nuisance, and add nothing of value to the Lemmy experience.
Not really, I messaged @dave so he could be on top of it if it got ‘interesting’.
Now you have got very anti hexbear and ‘they’ have not been antagonistic in this thread.
No, but they have absolutely flooded the thread. They certainly got antagonistic in the previous thread though, basically calling everyone who disagrees with them racist.
You are the one in that thread getting hun up on a te Reo name when Te Reo is an official language (the only written in Law - English is only a common language as far as I understand), they, and others have called out the developers and you fo a quite an easy Te Reo name.
I have seen issues with 111 having issues with an English street name - Dick st. It took three calls to get EMS to attend because the first two went to (i guess) the same controller who insisted that Dick st was a prank call.
I don’t like how they exclusively use memes, and seem to group post, but on the issue of the street name I think you are in the wrong.

Do you seriously think that’s quite an easy name?
It’s eight syllables, but I think most minds would chunk it out as three or four units of short term memory (“papa”, “kanga”, “horo” or even “horohoro”) which isn’t too unreasonable to me compared to some more …western sounding? place names.
(Though I am not the person you were responding to nor do I have experience with Maori. Just sharing my take)
I mean, it’s certainly possible to remember, but to describe it as an easy to remember word just seems so elitist.
If literacy standards have sunk so low that that’s elitism, these are troubling times indeed.
You don’t work in the trades, I take it?
I’m elitist? F me.
It truly is one of the eiser [longer] te reo names that are in our good green [or not so] country.
Seriously? Just as easy as Taupo, for example?
Surely you can’t think that in good faith.
Even as a white gen x-er with probable dyslexia I would possibly have issues spelling spelling not living there, but if you lived there I really can’t see the problem with papa-kanga-horo-horo (shit, look at that I spelt that correctly first time [yes I looked it to check])
Easier than Worcester
Who said Worcester was an easy name though?
I just heavily doubt you’d kick up the same fuss over a European name
Doubt away, you strange person.
I see. So this outrages you just as much?
