Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Is "stunts" the new "slams"?

I'm too old to keep up on current popular terminology

[–] anewfox@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"stunt" is 90s/early 2000s slang.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I must not have been in the right circles, then.

I suppose it helps to actually be in circles... but still.

It's throwing me off because I thought 'stunts on' died off years ago

Yes, I have heard of the term stunt before. Shockingly.

Just not in this context, which is not in fact mentioned in the link you provided.

I don’t reckon it’s popular. We’ve known for years that “slams” is a sign of a disappointing article, but maybe we’re all actually starting to internalise it now, so now we need to mix up the headlines to keep engagement.
