Part of the reason is internet commentators are so mean to each other, and many of us users don’t want to be judged by someone? (Although extreme echo chamber is also a bad thing)

I reflected on the the whole thing after hearing opinions from both sides of users. I now realise I don’t care as much anymore which may be a good thing.

True, “Karma” doesn’t mean much unless you can refine “Karma” statistics, e.g. upvote/ downvote ratio, “karma” trend against time graphs, last 30 days net “Karma”, filter “Karma” statistics specific to community/instance.

Still, you can’t stop someone from selling a 5 million “Karma Points” account to trolls, so I disagree with showing “Karma” like Reddit.

Hats off to @LargeHardonCollider@lemmy.world and @ruud@lemmy.world !

Thank you for this valuable information.

Yeah, first few are satire, but then according to Poe’s Law and agnoticism, we will never know. Some are definitely satire and some are definitely genuine.

From empirical evidence we learned that no way in socialism we can enjoy this kind of freedom of expression.

And with the exodus of users from Reddit to Lemmy which created a significant base of decentralised online community, we just witnessed history where human beings achieved the next level of freedom of expression free from manipulation by a handful of powerful individuals

Isn’t “have” either an auxiliary verb or verb and “of” a preposition?

Are these acceptable? If yes, why? If not, why not?

• I of heard that story before.

• Diane of already gone.

• John ofn’t phoned, of he?

• I ofn’t visited London before.

• Of you seen Roz?

• Of she been invited?

• They still ofn’t of any news when I spoke to them yesterday.

I don’t know man, Oxford Dictionary (click Grammar Point to expand) says that https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/have_2

A common mistake is to write ‘could of’ instead of could have or could’ve

I could of told you that.

I could’ve told you that.

The reason for the mistake is that the pronunciation of ’ve is the same as that of of when it is not stressed. This is a common error but it is definitely considered wrong in standard English.

Thanks for the info about French and Spanish governing bodies. TIL

I know right, I know people make careless grammatical mistakes all the time, including me, which is completely fine but people outright thought that “should of” is correct and use it all the time starts to get annoying

How about we create c/RantUnderAuthoritarianRegime

Lol I recall preordering Cyberpunk 2077
