    My wife doesn’t like it when I introduce her as my ex-girlfriend.

      I dont really care what people post, as long as its on a free and decentralized network. And as long as bad posts are in their respective community (as is the case here) its fine with me.

      Lemmy is not about “good posts” its about removing central authority.

        I’ve been thinking about this lately.

        You’re right in that there’s no central “authority”, but lemmy has become very centralised with all the content on a few big instances in fiefdoms controlled by a few mods who seem to be weirdos with too much time on their hands.

        I guess the benefit is, if an instance or a mod does something really egregious there’s the potential to just move to another instance.

        I think we need another few iterations of exodus from other platforms because of whatever shitstorm for lemmy to develop its own vibrance.

          Well, then create new communities if that’s what you want to see here. What’s stopping you?

            Because modding online communities is a huge waste of time for anyone who isn’t desperate for validation.

                Hah.

                Firstly, I wasn’t complaining.

                Secondly, I suspect I’ve touched a nerve. Are you the fieflord of some Alexandrian repository of enlightened content and discord? Do you find it fulfilling?

          This is precisely why I am in favor of defederating from the shit instances, .ml in particular. Because it transfers demand for popular communities away from those instances and ostensibly helps grow alternatives.

      It has been for a while, as soon as the censored word posts from grandma started showing up. It’s pretty damn uncomfortable

      If Facebook posts make people laugh, and this one did, what’s the problem?

      Also, this is clearly not a real Facebook post, it’s an obvious joke.

      • GladiusB

        Because it didn’t make people laugh. It’s cringe. In humor and presentation. It’s like six attempts in crappy cropping and a reach at that from a dead horse that was old even on Reddit.

        But yea. Nothing is wrong with it.

          It clearly does make people laugh. Lots of people, including me. Hence all the over 700 upvotes when I am posting this response.

          It’s a bit silly to think your sense of humor matches everyone else’s in a post that is clearly one lots of people enjoyed.

              What are you even talking about? Do you think people upvoted because they disliked it? Were all the upvotes from bots? Otherwise I think lots of people thought it was funny. What evidence is there to the contrary beyond a handful of complaints?

    I hate this fictional couple already. Despite the fact that they’re clearly upper middle class and educated, they’re too lazy to capitalize “I”, or his name.

      Man didn’t capatlize her name…at the start of a sentence. He had to back out of the autocorrect to do that (or use a desktop…but still)!

        You whippersnappers. This used to be a thing when chat didn’t autocapitalize. Using caps at the beginning of sentences was similar to using all caps now. Shouting.

      News to me that one can see ‘upper middle class and educated’ in a mugshot.

      And dude, that’s from a chat, not a formal letter.
