You don't really have to know what specific year they were born in, the refusal to capitalize is a dead giveaway they did not experience that time at all. Anybo

You don't really have to know what specific year they were born in, the refusal to capitalize is a dead giveaway they did not experience that time at all. Anybody of that time period would be embarrassed to do so on a public site.
Kind of funny how we carry these different meanings to mostly meaningless things.
- bink 3y agoMaking advisories hard to read has been a thing since forever. Remember Gobbles? https://github.com/thinkitdata/GOBBLES/blob/master/advisories/GOBBLES-04.txt https://github.com/thinkitdata/GOBBLES/blob/master/advisorie...
- waboremo 3y agoVery true, trends after all come and go. Specifically about this style though, I feel it fits right into the blog series about "domestic cozy"[1]. It aims to be exactly that, imply super casual/low effort tone, make it feel a bit more personal, and simultaneously about ignoring social traditions that feel redundant to them. Like all trends, it takes effort to follow, and part of this is encouraging friends to turn off auto-capitalization on your phone. So I would say it's a bit more than just trying to make something hard to read, and focusing on that bit might make you miss the rest of their storytelling process!

- mlyle 3y agoI had an all-lowercase website for a couple years on the early web. So did many of my friends. Archive.org snapshots are 2000-2001, but they'd been around before that in many iterations. Gah.. it's all embarrassing to look back on for other reasons...
