Fights about Lemmy.world policy changes explained
-
You know someone is going to start a weekly Lemmy drama Peertube channel!
-
Irl, people actually do say .world, .ml, .whatever, when the stuff before he dot is lemmy or close equivalent, and the conversation is about instances.
As in, "yeah, I had an account on .ml, but they be trippin, so I moved over to .ee"
But instances like the one I'm on just get called by what it says, or like blahaj, just by a single part.
-
"That one fucking instance" is also acceptable.
You know which one.
-
... but no one will be able to find it. /s

The first link in the cross-post chain is to https://piefed.social/post/413111, which is for the channel, and shows that it was made 4 weeks ago, and includes a comment from the main LW admin.
Your suspicions about this video seem off, but if you want to keep them, they should be directed at person who posted this old video into Lemmy, not the video's author. As well as a PeerTube instance, Jeena has a PieFed instance, and it seems reasonable enough for him to use his own channel to discuss things that have affected him and are relevant at the time.
What's even weirder is that this video was already posted to [email protected] by Jeena a month ago, and OP commented on it then. It doesn't get picked up as a cross-post (by either Lemmy or PieFed) because PeerTube has 2 different formats for its URLs (a recent change to PieFed means they get they will do from now on, but it doesn't apply to old posts).

Yeah I've rarely seen it for .ee and .ml.
-
Thanks, it seems there was a lot here I was missing.
-
It 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 comment I was responding to 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):-).
