I can’t be the only reddit migrant who often instinctually goes to a given community by typing /r/community, only to be 404d. If the /r/ path isn’t being used for anything else, is it possible to have it dynamically redirect to /c/ instead?

    email is not mail but it still borrows conventions, metaphors, and terminology.

    this comment has embedded “carriage returns” and “line feeds”.

    I still don’t like OP’s idea but I also don’t like your argument against OP’s idea.

      Relevant username. Do you think facebook posts should also be called tweets?

        Well, abstractly, since twitter is dead, and there is no cute name for facebook posts, I can see this happening. Like how every tissue is called a “kleenex”. But in concrete reality, I don’t give a fuck what goes on in those cesspits.

        But yeah, argue with the analogy, that ALWAYS proves your point. Oh, and name calling, nice, very nice. Try sarcasm next, it never fails for me. Again, I do oppose OP’s proposal, you absolute jerkface.

        I think that in the context of a conversation, if someone uses ‘tweet’ instead of ‘post’, we all know what they meant and it would be an unproductive dick move to nitpick their terminology given that they mean basically the same thing in most contexts.
