    Coming into an established venue and insisting everything change to be more like what you’re used to is certainly A Choice.

    I like to think most of it is people just genuinely not realising things already have a name, so as long as we continue to nip the “sublemmy” stuff in the bud it’ll peter out. Saw a lot of the same stuff on Mastodon last year but it settled down pretty quick.

      Well the flip coin is the same. New users coming to a place and using language they feel is natural, and then judging them for not using your own specific terminology is also “A Choice” It’s not up to anyone what other people call things.
