Same. And people I talk to at work seem to also do this. Not just the politically interested, but regular people.

I like it because saving is writing. Like in ed(1) or vi(1).

There is even an IANA RFC for three-letter acronyms (TLAs) (RFC5513), which says:
"For our usage, we also allow digits within a TLA. Thus, P2P is an
acronym meaning Purchase to Pay [URL-P2P]. The digits 2 and 4 are
specially used by clever people who have noticed that, when spoken,
they sound like the words 'to' and 'for'. Whether this is helpful
may be left as an exercise for the user considering the brief
conversation, below.
A - Do you use the Internet Streams Protocol?
B - Yes. Do you use ST, too?
A - No, I use ST2.
B - That's interesting. C uses ST2, too.
A - I have a car horn application called Toot-toot.
B - Really? Do you use ST2 to Toot-toot, too?"
You can also contribute if you feel some content is missing, start a community or contribute things to an existing one. Quality is the result of care.
My friends daughter heard about the tooth fairy and said "I don't think we should give her more teeth until we have figured out why she wants them, what is her plan?"
In Fraktur, that "G" in "God" is actually an S. The capital G looks different and looks strange to us.
Which word or phrase do you suggest we should use instead for the idea of freedom of speech applied on a private level? Where in this case the instance admin takes on the role of regulating what can or can't be communicated on their instance.
I agree, but I do think that's the most important thing.
In a way, yes, but his site isn't federated with other sites. Truth social is a modified Mastodon instance.
What makes Lemmy different from Reddit is that if some moderator or admin is limiting your freedom of speech, you can run your own instance with your own rules and communities and still be on Lemmy. Reddit can ban you from Reddit, but Lemmy is like a collection of "reddits" that integrate and there is no central authority. To answer your question, as a user you have more freedom to find an instance with rules that align with your values and wishes, and you always have the option to create your own instance, and no one can stop you. If you say things that other people don't want to hear, they might block you, but that doesn't limit your freedom of speech.

I have never felt comfortable dancing in public, and thought it was because I was shy or something. Then I realized that I just didn't like the music. Now I dance at home to Godspeed You! Black Emperor. I probably look insane doing that, but it comes naturally and feels good.
