  I hope Tobey isn’t

  In Sesotho, “how are you?” is “ho joang?” which gets shortened to “hj”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Other responses are kind of fence-sitting so I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say yeah it’s poor taste, but forgiveable. I think it just boils down to why would you use a skin tone that’s not yours? Some people like having an emoji that’s they share with others of their color, so why intrude on that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Then what is your explanation for black and brown people more likely to use the skin toned emojis, as has been mentioned so much in this thread? Are they less lazy than white people, or care more about it? If they care more about it, then why?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  White dude here. I use the white skin emojis, but honestly I think it’s just because I see my black and brown friends use their skin tones as a rule, and I feel like using the yellow tone is a bit weird when others are using the skin tone customization.

  I’m not ashamed of my skin color or anything and the phone remembers my last tone selection so I don’t really see a reason to not use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't you all get tired of the constant negativity?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All and probably most Local feeds are negative. If you’re looking for a more positive experience, you should change the way you interact with Lemmy and the Fediverse.

  First, you should investigate different instances (or consider hosting your own) and find one that sounds like it has a better vibe. Then use the Local feeds instead of All.

  Second, look for better communities. Many people complain about there being different iterations of communities but this is where that’s a strength of Lemmy’s structure. If the news community you’re frequenting is too full of downers, then look into different news communities. Or- again- if you’re feeling up to it, make your own and advertise it as a light-hearted community, then moderate it as such.

  I don’t know what you’re referencing, sorry if im a bit dense haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can Trump still run for president now that he's a convicted felon?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely, and it’s infuriating. The only thing that can stand between criminals and sociopaths is the vote, and a too much of the vote is controlled by morons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can Trump still run for president now that he's a convicted felon?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, and it’s important that felons be able to run for president. Were that not the case, a corrupt enough system could just disqualify anyone that would seek to oust it.
