After some inventive sleuthing, the mission team can — for the first time in five months — check the health and status of the most distant human-made object in existence.
To me, that sounds like “ugh, why do I have to work with this 49-year-old piece of outdated garbage.” But I see what you’re saying now.
I said that statement with the glass half full, but you’re reading it with the glass half empty. We have different perspectives on the same words on the page.
And as I mentioned, I personally believe we should all be using emojis all the time, but they tend to be shunned upon now these days and people are mocked for using them, so I tend not to.
Finally it was such a trivial sentence, not worth adding emojis to, let alone the conversation we’re having about it now.
You could just take someone at good faith, and not think they’re just being negative you know. 🙂
All good, friend. Funny - I usually see a glass half-full in online interactions with people I personally know (friends/family/coworkers), and in face-to-face interactions as well.
But unfortunately, social networks, including Lemmy to a lesser extent, seem to be bringing the worst of people as of lately. Pure doom and gloom, rude comments, etc. Now, that has always been the case, and I have thick skin (e.g. youtube comments before upvotes? Geezez christ!!) But now the whole thing is fueled with external disinformation campaign and now we have AI!
Hm, who is shunning emojis on Lemmy? Could it be your instance, or the communities you’re visiting? When used effectively, emojis add useful context to the conversations. Of course, some 👏 people 👏 use 👏 them 👏 in 👏 a 👏 very 👏 annoying 👏 way! But fortunately, it’s not all the time.
But anyway. You said that we’re arguing over such a simple matter - but for me, Lemmy is pure entertainment, so these discussions are, well, entertaining. Like when you’re mad at a character in a movie you’re enjoying. :)
So, don’t take me too seriously, thank you for being graceful and I hope you’re having a nice day!

No, it’s the impression I’ve gotten throughout the Internet.
I actually don’t agree with the social prohibition on them. I think we should use them more often, in lieu of being able to see another person’s facial expression.
But for some its seen as ineffective, for others immature, for others they just don’t like how often they’re used, etc., etc.

Appreciate the response.

This article from Psychology Today goes into some aspects of what I’m speaking about.
I wasn’t considering what we were doing as arguing, but just discussing.
But then again, it might be a glass half full perspective thing with me. 🙂
