They didn’t disagree with it. They asked you why. Answer the reasonable query or accept that the obvious ‘because I crave attention’ will be what everyone is thinking.

Yup. At least with Space-X the message seems to be ‘a variable that changes things with the space industry’. ‘X’ is just… a meaningless letter. My favourite is the meme that tweets will now be called Xcretes.

Caffeine isn’t addictive. Your body acclimates to long term usage, and you will experience some withdrawal symptoms but this is classified as a dependency and not an addiction as it does not trigger the reward mechanisms like weed and or methamphetamine does. It’s an important distinction and is why coffee and tea are often served at [Addiction] Anonymous meetings.

Oh, oh. Is it too late to put 'unfunny and old 10 years ago attempts at recycled wit by people not smart enough to come up with their own unique sentence" on the list?

The culture of misspelling lose with loose, excusing it and down-voting to oblivion anyone that dares point out the mistake. “Sorry, is that wrong? English is my second means of communicating with other Homo Sapiens and it was an honest typographical error on my part. Please accept my sincerest apologies.” (original comment remains unedited to fix the typo)

No, your missing the difference between can and should. We’re in the fledgling stages of this Federation and already there are duplicate communities. How are these anything but an aggravation and hassle to newcomers trying to figure out what is where? You see freedom, I see obfuscation and dilution possibly to the point of absurdity.

You know what would help? If the instance list (and perhaps even the community lists) actually displayed a description of its purpose and intended content.

Duplicate communities should have been prohibited, or at least regulated, from the start. To me the problem is Why TF are people making a 2nd knitting community when one already exists? Instance theme isn’t appropriate for the original community? Migrate it.

Well it was confusing to begin with. I’m still not sure how to search efficiently or whatever, and I don’t know where you can quickly see the Instance themes. I’ve settled in though and I’m comfortable now. It really helps that **every **comment isn’t replied to with someone outright hostile for whatever reason. Pretty sure that’ll change once the bots realize we’re worth their time.

I have my icks. I wish thread trees were more distinct. I’m still getting the hang of the interface. But despite them there is a pleasant vibe here where you feel like you’re actually talking to people and not screaming to be heard amongst a hostile crowd.
