But the advantage is that Lemmy allows Tor. 😅

    Also because it allows anyone to easily stalk all your comments for some reason. Creepy.

    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.

    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.

      It’s actually about whether the object is countable.

      Water -> less water Cups of water -> fewer cups of water

      It bothers me a bit, too, but American English is definitely evolving to replace “fewer” with “less”.

    Some people actually use the tag feature so that they remember users when they see them again lol

        Not just that, but they also use those tagging extensions in case they have an opportunity to bring up some shit from the past because they have nothing better to do than to keep tabs on everyone like it matters. Very normal and stable people.

    Voyager enhances his effect by counting your votes on individuals. You start seeing people with big numbers.

        You can find it in the User Tags section in the prefs. If you don’t see it, your voyager might be really out of date.

        You have a [+3] for me! (Because I have upvoted you three times in the past. If I wasn’t clear about how it works.)

        It’s on by default. The number should appear next to the username once you’ve liked one of their posts
