How to quickly lose a few potential users.
- roblabla 2y agoOther people might say it's a great way to self-moderate its network.
- gooseus 2y agolol, or how to easily filter out a few users who can't take a joke.
- diggan 2y agoWith emphasis on few. I'd wager less than 0.01% of potential users would be butthurt enough by that joke to avoid the platform as a whole. And the ones who got butthurt, probably better off not having them on the platform in the first place.
- another-dave 2y agoIt seems strange that someone would be offended by the US variant being called "simplified" spelling — wasn't that the whole point?
- freeopinion 2y agoMaybe they meant people who don't want to be considered traditional...
- acomjean 2y agoI’m an American and not offended in the least. It is simplified (color vs the obviously incorrect UK variant colour). Gray va grey. y’all is a great addition to the Simplified English. Despite being told long ago by a drunk English visiting student that “the language is English not American” I’ll stand by our American simplification! Lamentably this simplification seems to be backtracking our political system…but hey we’re going from Discord to Revolt!

- aredox 2y agoCan't handle "locker-room banter"? You won't be missed.
- csomar 2y agoIt's open source.
- unit149 2y ago[dead]
- shaky-carrousel 2y agoIt's not a loss.
- piva00 2y agoFragile egos that can't take such a innocuous joke are not really a loss in the overall scheme of things though.
- fatata123 2y agoOnes that are offended by a lighthearted joke. Sounds like a plus
- anonzzzies 2y agoHow to quickly show you have no sense of humor.
