  • EXACTLY this is what I’m thinking

    I can understand using formal language in formal places but lemmy generally isn’t super formal

    For a long time stuff like slang has generally been limited to speech, transcriptions of speech and quotations, but with messaging and internet, it’s common to write in the same register as you speak
