Sure, makes sense people can know the difference and make these mistakes because of muscle memory or whatever. The problem I have with it is it's clear many, many people either just don't know or care which one they're supposed to use.
Maybe it's okay for something short, like texting, but proper grammar and punctuation are kind of necessary for the longer chunks of text.
I've got to say it was pretty shocking to be fresh off the boat, walking down the street, and some kid just bolts out of a store, drops her pants and starts pissing next to a tree.
I actually saw them doing that once near where I lived. Thankfully I never ate there.
Pixel running GrapheneOS. Happy to feel like I actually own my own phone now.
Using an apostrophe in plurals. Don't know why but this one drives me insane.
Also they're/there/their and you're/your
Yeah, I think that's one of the user experience issues we're facing. Setting the canonical as the original server makes the most sense, but that would mean if you find something interesting via a search engine you have to figure out how to get it to show up on your home instance.
Like for me, since I run my own instance for myself and one other person so far, I have to find interesting communities manually. It's really annoying. Though, looking at Lemmy v0.18 release notes, a lot of new devs have made contributions and I'm sure more will help in the future. One improvement from yesterday's release is visiting a remote community on your home server will pull the community rather than returning a 404. I think changes like that are big first steps towards improving this specific aspect of the user experience.
I think you're right. Looking at the html source for this page I don't see a canonical tag, though. Maybe they haven't added it yet? Or I missed it.
Same here. I'll check out the Fediverse first then go to reddit if I still need to waste time. No point in quitting early. The protests clearly failed so might as well just accept that.
Hopefully their numbers drop dramatically next month.
I agree and I have been. Cheers to making this space better for everyone.
thanks for joining us and giving Reddit the finger on your way out
I use ad blockers. I do feel for people who are trying to make a living producing content, I really do.
BUT I really, really, am against letting the big tech companies that serve the ads make the majority of the money. It's beyond messed up how little content creators make compared to what companies like Google make with ads. Ads make some companies so much money they sink tons of money into finding more ways to creep on our personal lives.
Kind of related but not completely is how Apple and Google take cuts of money spent in apps and to pay for paid apps in their app stores. Like wtf? Sure, I can understand these tech companies need money to run their servers and all that, but jfc why do they need such a huge cut? App devs, artists (YouTube and Spotify, I'm looking at you), writers, whatever all create content people enjoy and tech companies just corner the market and force people who are usually not great with computers or tech, and they just fuck them. Content creators have no say.
