Fonzie!

I guess so, but it’s still very much a large scale social media as we know it (e.g. YouTube, Twitter, Reddit…), and definitely a far cry from private chats on platforms like FB Messenger or WhatsApp…

Your first three sum up to:

• Italian food but worse
• Mexican food but worse
• Food that’s probably better in most other places

I think OP is set on those in the future, but otherwise good recommendations IG

Really? Because Weibo is much like Twitter or Instagram in China; everybody and their grandma is on it, it has everything from memes to politicians posting their thoughts. It seems very public to me, albeit if you have an account (which just about everyone there does)

What did you mean by isolated?

I can tell you, most of South East Asia operates on Instagram and Facebook. And Chinese people’s obsession with Weibo (like Mastodon) and Douyin (Chinese TikTok) are also on their whole own level!

Reddit, what Lemmy aims to replace, is very much Western.

See, even your metaphor contains US-only brands.

Also, what’t up with Americans speaking in brands?
Why can’t it be a local shop a few streets away from the supermarket?

Geograohically they aren’t, but they’re culturally similar, sure.

It also seems like English changing the letter J from a /j/ sound to a /dzj/ sound didn’t help, going by how “Iacobus” became Jacob somewhere down that line.

jimjam5 wouldn’t mind the name Saint Jim?

I feel you’re biased 😋

It’s wild that the name Diego becomes James in English!

I would’ve thought of Daniel or something but no, JAMES

Archived link, just in case.

I don’t mind using it for larger teams, it can be great for organised communication such as dev teams!

But it shouldn’t replace documentation.

(Also, Discord itself is a proprietary, censoring telemetry wasp nest, your FOSS dev team shouldn’t be organised in it but Matrix, XMPP, IRC channels or something else open.)

Yeah, but it shouldn’t replace forums.

Isn’t that just a bandwidth issue?

Take shoes for example. Why is a uk men’s size 10 so wildly different from a UK women’s size 10?

EU shoe sizes aren’t different based off gender; women just tend to have size 37 when men tend to have size 42.

It does that with any unread message for some reason. Going to your replies and then tapping the double check mark in the top right marks everything in the inbox as read, as well.

I should probably let the devs know about this bug… When I don’t forget.
