WTF is wrong with redditors? (hexbear.net)

You could make the most innocuous post or comment in a hobby sub about stuff that doesn't matter. Then like clockwork every toxic smug shit-head debate lord on the site is going to jump down your throat. It's amazing how they pair their arrogance with how objectively wrong they are about everything.

Fuck redditors

It's how the algorithm that redditors have trained now trains them to behave and so on. I've noticed on a lot of social media even though I never click on like f.ex anti-feminist stuff they, still show me that in recommendations no matter how many times I say I don't want it. So I think it's like intentionally trying to keep me engaged through negative emotions.

are you using "f.ex" in place of "e.g." to mean "for example"?

[–] RedSturgeon@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

No I am abbreviating the words: for example. Why should I abbreviate exempli gratia when I never say that?

[–] XxFemboy_Stalin_420_69xX@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

because f.ex is confusing to the reader because it's not widely used. i was about to ask the same question before i saw redsturgeon ask it tbh

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It's widely used in certain languages that aren't english (on the norwegian speaking internet f.eks is used all the time), maybe OP is ESL?

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I guess because it's the standard convention? I don't care what you do I just wanted to check that I'm understanding you correctly.

[–] RedSturgeon@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well forgive me for acting defensive. That's the way we use our broken English here and nobody has an issue with it, so it caught me off guard and ended up being pretty defensive about it. Maybe I should leave the American online spaces because I end up doing more harm than good with my confusion and then I can't even handle the conflict that arises from it because I'm not good at handling this and idk how I'd convince all the people to talk to to switch their language use to adjust with the mainstream English even if I wanted to try and it's just a mess. Also it's my fault and I started this so I take the full responsibility.
