  • If they can’t explain their opinion in their own words is it really their opinion?

    I don’t think “can’t” is the right assessment here. Less unable and more unwilling.

    If a piece of content expresses what I’m trying to say, why use additional effort to reinterpret it into my own phrasing. We’ve all only got so much time+energy, it seems like an unnecessary waste.

    At the same time, like OP said, this is a pretty lazy method of communication and thats not always suitable. It also leaves more ambitiguity; just because I interpret a piece of content one way doesn’t mean everyone will.

    Sending people memes isn’t the best method of getting your point across, but it does have its place. Especially when time/energy is limited.








  • I don’t think it was ever intended in the sense that content, once online, will always be available online.

    Just that, once posted, it’s now in storage that you have no control over. Even if the original is removed, it can still be in any number of different places; anything from intentional private collections, to random webserver caches. It can re-apear in the public eye at anytime, you just need to combine someone that’s got a copy with a reason to post it again.

    Posting content online is relinquishing control of its existence.



  • Darkassassin07@lemmy.catoNo Stupid Questions@lemmy.worldWhy do new sites embed tweets?

    It’s been common practice for well over decade now…

    Embedded content lets you click on it to follow the tweet chain and see more info or even contribute to the conversation. A screenshot only shows exactly what the author decides to show you and nothing more.

    Content disappearing or twitter walling itself off hasn’t been an issue until twatwaffle took over.



  • Dunno about op, but for me: various self-hosted interfaces, info for projects in-progress (easily 5-10/project), a few different forums I frequent, interesting stuff I don’t have time for now but will return to when I do.

    Bookmarks get lost/forgotten as I don’t make a point to view them to remember them. Open tabs remind me of their contents every time I switch tabs so I’m much morr likely to return to them. I’m also lazy and don’t want to re-open the same sites I frequent nearly daily.

    Currently only have 21 open, but that’s been much larger.
