  Some people here have a really huge effect. Guys like Stamets and some of the other Star Trek crew, I see their posts all the time.

      That bastard and the rest of the Star Trek people here! They got me watching Star Trek because of their damn memes. They were often funny even without context, what can I say?

      I had literally never watched it before. I’ve now gone through TOS, TNG, Voyager, Lower Decks (save the last season), and I’m over halfway through DS9. Mother fuckers assimilated me… and I’m ok with it

  Considering how new anonymity is for the human race, it amazes me how people treat it like a crucial element of life. Civilization mostly lacked it for thousands of years because almost everybody lived in villages or small towns - about half the people in the world still do.

  source

  • possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    These days it is either full anonymity or surveillance state

    Tech does that

    source
  • chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    You may not have been anonymous to the people in your immediate community, but you were largely anonymous to the people outside of it, which is something that has been systematically dismantled in various ways through history. Even things as basic as last names are there to make you visible to outsiders.

    From Seeing Like a State, p59:

    The invention of permanent, inherited patronyms was, after the administrative simplification of nature (for example, the forest) and space (for example, land tenure), the last step in establishing the necessary preconditions of modern statecraft. In almost every case it was a state project, designed to allow officials to identify, unambiguously, the majority of its citizens. When successful, it went far to create a legible people. 38 Tax and tithe rolls, property rolls, conscription lists, censuses, and property deeds recognized in law were inconceivable without some means of fixing an individual’s identity and linking him or her to a kin group. Campaigns to assign permanent patronyms have typically taken place, as one might expect, in the context of a state’s exertions to put its fiscal system on a sounder and more lucrative footing.

    IMO the felt anonymity of Reddit, that comes from the fact that hardly anyone cares to remember your username and you don’t directly experience scrutiny, isn’t that useful. What really matters is the potential for someone to look over everything you’ve written (and if they have administrator access, connect that to IP, email, browser fingerprint etc.), and use that information for their own purposes, regardless of their having any connection to or legitimate personal interest in you. In that respect, Lemmy isn’t much better (it kind of can’t be when the premise is publicly posting writing to the internet), but it isn’t worse either.

• Adderbox76@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Can I be the guy that’s known around town for pointing out that in the given context, it’s actually “fewer users”

  And yeah yeah, I know about evolution of language and common usage, and all that crap. But it really does just boil down to the fact that fewer sounds more elegant when the object is plural. ie: “There are usually fewer unexpected costs associated with new home ownership”, vs “There is usually less unexpected cost associated with new home ownership” (Both are correct in their given context)

  It’s about how language rolls off the tongue. If we lose that we might as well grunt at each other draw pictographs with our own feces.

  /end of rant.

  source

  • my_hat_stinks@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    This specific case isn’t really to do with the evolution of language, more just ineffective linguistic prescriptivism. Some guy 200 years ago decided they didn’t like how “less” had been used for the past millennium so they made up a guideline for what the preferred (like what you just said) then people decided to treat that as an actual rule. Obviously it’s still common to use “less” that way even after a couple of centuries of people trying to enforce that rule, it’s a good demonstration of how prescriptivism is a waste of time.

    Strangely enough, in my experience many prescriptivists who rely on etymological arguments are fine with language changing for this one rule. Makes me think they never really did care about historic usage of a word.

    source

    • wewbull@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It all just comes down to preference, but what a lot of people prefer is being able to express slightly different concepts clearly.

      • “fewer costs” : There will be a smaller number of bills to pay
      • "less cost" : The total payable will be smaller
      • "less costs" : ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

    Doesn’t help that its the same font size as the comments. Also profile pics, most on reddit don’t use profile pics.

    And also special fonts that sometimes make it stand out, bigger, and different color.

• brucethemoose@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Certain subreddits used to be like this.

  But all my favorites have taken one of two paths:

  • Get algorithmically deprioritized (due to a “bug” as an admin told a mod), and hemorrhage users. The collective ‘intelligence’ of the sub in particular drains; interesting intellectual discussions are gone. One such example: /r/localllama

  • The sub gets huge. Bots repost memes as attention farms. It doesn’t feel like a small town anymore. Deeper discussions drain away in favor of shallow repetition of the same things over and over again. One example of this for me is /r/thelastairbender.
