Apprpropriate for a Star Trek AMA :)

Text truly is a difficult medium. It doesn’t help that many statements that would have definitely been sarcasm a couple of decades ago are legitimately said by fascists these days.

I’ve been on the internet since 1994, and I was on BBSes before that from 1987, so that along with my ADHD means I tend to over-use emoticons to indicate the light-hearted tone of most of the things I write. heh.

Also I also overuse “lol” and “heh” and “meh” for those purposes, too.

I know some rail against the usage of “/s”, but really, it’s no bad thing. Sure it may identify some jokes that the author intended to be subtle, but in the days where these things are said by some people… it’s just necessary, alas.

Thank you, this gives me where to go looking next :)

Thank you. I’ll play around with available clients, then :)

As I am a Lemmy n00b, can you direct me on what to do to be able to flair users? I like most of the Lemmy method of things, but as an old.reddit user using RES… I’m finding the options a little limited over here so far. :)

You can’t tell they were joking around? :/

Well, I can tell. They are.

I’m passing by this discussion and just inserting myself in here to say: I’d be happier if reddit was more like it was when I joined - when it wasn’t the den of nazis, bots, and shills. Although the admins have always been libertarians^[1] and protective of the fascist point of view… but at least in the old days it wasn’t as pervasive.

But that aside, I agree with you in general.

Everyone can have different opinions, and thats ok.

Wrong. My opinions are the only correct ones. ;-)
