If Putin somehow lost Belarus I’d laugh real hard
@NOT_RICK @downpunxx #fckputin would new need leverage over luka. I doubt it. Yes, would be a 'reverse kursk' move to bind ua forces, but luka can't be so utterly stupid. He neighbours NATO countries. 90% nothing happens. 10%: oh boy
Quit atting everyone just write your comment
They may be coming from somewhere other than Lemmy (Mastodon?) and this format is more acceptable and/or normalized for them. One of the quirks of the fediverse.
This is Lemmy, they oughta get right for Lemmy, as I should for whatever they got there.
It literally just works this way. There's no way to post onto Lemmy from Mastodon without doing this as far as I know.
Messy content is messy content
I don't disagree, but telling individual commenters to do better isn't going to work when the technology fundamentally doesn't allow for it.
If you feel quite strongly about it, you could always open an issue with the Lemmy devs or the Mastodon devs.
Otherwise I feel like you'll just come off as kind of a jerk?
It wouldn't be ok if my posts came across all messed up on mastodon or some other platform.
Bad formatting, and perceived weird etiquette of calling people out is weird here, regardless of reason.
Like going to a foreign country and doing things that are out of hand for that culture. I'd expect to be asked to quit it
it's more like getting on a city bus and complaining to a passenger that they're sitting under an ad on the wall. Pointless and just makes you look crazy.
Grandpa complaining about foreign accents energy.
Meh so be it.
If an instance or platform had a no swearing rule but our posts automatically injected swear words, they'd probably take issue with it. It's just junk process.
(Obviously no one cares about swearing that's not the point, just an example.)
@'ing people is weird and I'm fine being an old man about it
Oh look, it took me all of a half second to skip over the @s and read the message! What inconvenience!
Obviously that's not the issue, it's just poor etiquette
So complain to the developers that make mastodon work that way. Complaining here is worse than useless, no one here can do anything about it
They could edit their comment or go away
One of the only true 'responsibilities' of Lemmy users is to conduct themselves in a manner that encourages user participation. This is not that and you are getting close to harrassement territory.
Drop it, and complain to the Lemmy/Mastodon devs.
