  • I've never minded being lumped into "you guys" and I'm a trans woman. But there are trans women that do mind, so I'm not gonna argue or anything if they tell me they don't like that term.

    That being said, it does feel weird. Like having a problem with the term "mankind"... Like, I get "man" is a masculine term but nobody means "men" when they say "mankind", you know?

  • You'd think, right? But I have some customers that insist that I actually answer the question.

    They'll walk up and say "hi! how are you?" and I'll say "hello"... And then they'll look me directly in the eyes and say again "how are you???" rather than telling me what they want so I can get them through the line.

    My usual response is to look at them like ಠ_ಠ and say "...I'm good? How are you?" to indirectly communicate to them that they're being weird af. But one of these times I want to just trauma dump on these old ladies that do this shit and watch as they have no idea what to say, and hopefully make them feel awkward as I hold up the line to give them a genuine answer to the question they insisted I respond to.

  • I think it was originally a shorthand to say "nobody asked for this to happen", but now it's a monkey-brain neuron-activation type thing that OPs can do to scream at other users "THIS IS A MEME"

  • I've been using Boost since Sync lost the "mark as read" feature, but I took a second look at Summit since I wrote that comment... And I actually think I like it more lol.

    Do you know if it has push notifications? I moderate a handful of communities so getting notified of reports would be huge.

  • Honestly I don't entirely disagree. But it is a very... nuanced situation.

    I think there's a layer of subjectivity that protects us from getting banned from LW. Things like "free Luigi" and "Luigi did nothing wrong" are fine because they're not directly advocating for violence. But you can't say X, Y, or Z should get murdered. I think that's the line.

    I moderate both of those subs but honestly I think I'd agree with you, .world was not the best place to create those communities.
