I’m USAian. (just identifying for this thread, i don’t call myself that)

would “gringo” include Black USAians? Asian USAians? Spain-born USAians?

from my understanding of “gringo”, that doesn’t seem to include non-white USAians. Most English monolingual USAians think that means “white guy”.

a lot of gen z USAians might not know the word Yankee as a term for USAians. if speaking to them, you might have to explain it’s not the baseball team.

maybe it’s better to stick with “USAians”. it’s never been used but it’s easy to figure out. other possible choices are:

• Statesians
• USAliens
• USAmericans
• Staters
• Stater Tots (re: tater tots)
• USticles

better yet, call each of us by the state we’re each from. that’s the safest bet. you know all our 50 state names right? and their official demonyms? 🤣 kidding

it’s just like how assassinating exPM Abe got the ball rolling on investigating Unification Church and LDP…

are we meant to learn a certain lesson from this pattern…

considering this and @Die4Ever@programming.dev’s comment, could it incentivize certain types of prospective Admins to create community only instances, increasing attraction of more users to lemmy overall but disproportionally burden the user management workload on the traditional user+community instances?

that sounds like a few different, but related sets of behaviors that u-tube psychologists regularly mention

• obsessive compulsiveness
• narcissism
• anxious attachment style
• equating mistakes/perfection ratio with p self-worth, worthiness to exist/to receive love

i don’t understand any of the words you just said.

(I’m American btw)

researchers actually succeeded in creating that phone system upgrade. the resulting communication system is the internet and world wide web.

hooray! you got what you wished for!

that’s mostly because of

also developed dating simulator game, Love and Deepspace, which boasts over six million monthly active users and is available in Chinese, English, Japanese and Korea

the biggest thirst trap ever 😂

(i wish there was a version to date women… my wallet would hate that…)

So my understanding from reading this (and other threads on Lemmy) is that:

-A majority of Lemmy users would rather the userbase remained small (in comparison to corporate social media and even compared to Mastodon).

-And a small but vocal minority wants to grow Lemmy to the point of being at least one of the choices, if not the de facto preferred alternative, on the mind of most Redditors who are sick of Reddit.

Is that accurate?
