I’m not sure what the answer is. I understand not wanting to scare people off, but what’s the point of building a lemmy community if ends up being built on low effort posts? I’m not sure what we have to lose by following the rules. Growth may be slower but I think it would make for a more interesting community.
I see your point. I guess trying to copy “askreddit” came with its own unexpected baggage. We just don’t see the chaff on reddit because that sub is so established, has automod, etc (or at least the last time I visited regularly before the APIpocalypse)
A great realization that I had was that many of my language pet peeves were really preferences and not hard and fast rules. Language constantly evolves, regardless of how any one person feels. Clinging to my pet peeves was really just a form of elitism.
I’m shocked that I actually recognize the references in an esoteric post.
Knulli - custom firmware for certain retro video game emulation devices
Anbernic - a currently popular manufacturer of said devices
Romm - self hosted software for gathering data about and organizing game roms (hence the post here)
Syncthing wouldn’t be possible to install on the stock firmware of their device, but it is with custom firmware like Knulli.
