Lol, that was funny! I know I’m being pedantic. I usually make those observations just to scratch an itch. The itch was a bit stronger than usual with this one because it’s a journalistic video. That’s all.

The video has a typo. It uses “it’s” instead of “its”.

I don’t know, man. To me that’s still speculation. But did say you were guessing, so that’s okay. I just thought that you had a clear indicator of mental issues.

It could very well be that someone started stalking him, or sending him death threats, and he simply said “yeah, fuck this.”

Or that he started the project to get some groupie ass, then got ass, then he was done with it all.

Or he got bored and moved on to the next interesting thing.

Why are you guessing the mental issues part? Has the admin given any indications of that in the past?

Because, it sounds to me, that if he was running a free service on his free time because he felt like it, then he doesn’t owe anybody anything. He can simply vanish for the simple reason that he got bored, and that should be enough.

I understand what you’re saying, but that’s the same we talk about the dead. You see a video of, say, Marilyn Monroe today, and you don’t say “Gosh she’s beautiful.” You say “Gosh, she was beautiful.”

Was.

Shucks.

Or even trim it.

P-Peertube?

What’s an example of this?

Edit: I just saw the video’s description and the related content section.

Hm. Kinda weird.

Why?

That doesn’t make sense.

You’re just repeating yourself without answering the question.

Nah brah. I’m not subscribed to this community, and yet sometimes its contents pop up in my feed. And I don’t want to sit through some video to learn about the content of the post.

So I appreciate when someone saves me a click.

I wasn’t going for an ethymological argument. Plenty of examples of words whose meaning veered away from its ethymology.

But the recent popularization of literally as a synonym of figuratively, well, it literally rustles my jimmies.

Interesting! Today I learned, then. Thanks.

Now, and this I’m going to say in a sort-of tongue-in-cheek manner, what’s your opinion on the recent change of the meaning of “literally”? Because that one is definitely less (ha!) than 200 years old.

I would normally agree with you.

But just as it’s okay for people to speak the way they want, it’s also okay for people to spread language knowledge. Then let the people decide whether they want to use that knowledge or not.

It’s not like OP said “it’s ‘fewer’, you idiot!” In that case, I’d say it’s elitism. Otherwise, it’s just a useful lemmy comment.

More.

Ha, cool! It’s been a while since I saw that movie.

Man, 1998?! Time flies.

What’s this in reference to?
