Comment on Fights about Lemmy.world policy changes explained
southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoIt kinda varies for me.
.ee gets referenced less for sure. The folks I know that have used lemmy longest will do the dot ee, or double-e. Noobs tend to fumble with it, as in “lemmy with two ees at the end” and eventually go with whatever they’ve heard spoken most.
But .ml always gets the . I believe that’s because there’s no shorthand for it verbally. Mull? Mill? Mall? Too many options for most folks to bother trying.

No not always. Just as ".world" I usually see called rather LW, so too ML works. And yours would be SJW:-). Maybe that's mostly my conversations with Blaze but I've definitely seen LW used elsewhere, though I can't recall ever seeing someone saying .world. Perhaps I simply wasn't paying proper attention:-).

Yes, always irl for me which I had stated previously.
I’m talking about humans in meat space saying the dot out loud. Because that’s what the post seemed to be about.

Oh okay, so not that they say "dot world" when referring to lemmy.world (bc almost nobody talks about Lemmy irl from what I can see:-), but in the general sense they say whatever comes after the dot out loud, I get you now (I think):-).
