And a follow up question that's not really liftoff-specific - 2 times out of 3 I got the handle wrong on the first attempt and had to go back and edit. Does the tagged user still get the mention notification from the updated post?
I'm going tag myself in this comment to test it. First, do you get notified for self-mentions @octoperson@sh.itjust.works ?
E. Nope. I didn't get anything for mentioning myself. Testing ends here (unless I make an alt login)
Good question, and sorry to disappoint but I believe the answer is still no. This has been talked about a lot ever since the initial exodus over from Reddit, so I can only assume there's a complicated technical reason why it's not a thing yet.
If you're Lemmying from a browser there's a tool called Lemmy Universal Link Switcher that I've heard good things about, although full disclosure I've not used it myself. It doesn't solve the problem of generating instance-agnostic links but it does try to solve it from the reader's side.
I got the same trying to make an instagram login earlier this year, having never used insta before. I think Meta just has some overzealous automoderation of new accounts.
I'm often reminded of a SpaceX render they put up on the 'Tube back when they were still working out the reusability thing. Commenters had a lot of questions about how the particular flight plan impacted on their fuel budget. And so, Elon himself waded in with the answers. Except he was talking about the dollar price it cost to buy the fuel. He was like 'why are you worried about fuel, it's not that expensive, guys' because he didn't understand the questions. He didn't understand why the amount of fuel and the mass of the fuel would be significant to anybody. Guys, I think he doesn't understand the rocket equation. He doesn't understand the central problem of rocketry. I think the guy might be full of it.
Can't find any evidence of that being a term prior to the tweet. I'd guess one of
they meant something simple like 'hateful dialogue' or 'hateful diatribe', and thought it was a smart person way of saying it.
it's the dog whistle du jour. Somewhere on stormfront or voat they're getting terribly worked up about 'dialectical hatred' as the new current threat to the white race.
it's used in some niche context where it has meaning. But our tweeter thinks it's got more reach than it actually does.
You could rewrite your greatest hits and republish somewhere you don't mind showing them. Take the approach of a student just changing enough so they're unlikely to get caught plagiarising their sources.
Bunch of people ain't getting curly hair!
