    See, this is why I keep struggling when I’m telling someone about something I heard on here and they ask if it was on reddit

    “No… it was on erm… well… it’s this other place. It’s not reddit… thank God it’s not reddit but it’s called erm… well it was Mbin and then that shut down and then it was kbin and now I’m on fedia.io but actually it’s lemmy… but it’s part of the fediverse… I think? it’s… yeah it’s like reddit basically but it’s not… anyway this asteroid is going to zip by the earth later today. Here’s a live youtube page that’s tracking it” 🤣

      They all have poorly chosen names to be fair. Open source projects choose the worst names and most confusing UX and then call everyone dumb for using programs that actually try to get people to enjoy them or at least be able to spell them

        Made up spellings are bad, but good luck searching for anything that isn’t a made up spelling or two words put together.

        That is the clear difference to close source. YouTube, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Adobe, Twitter, PowerPoint or Word are amazing names…

    Does the creator of seppo know what seppo means? Is the intent for it to mean the same thing or is it named that for some other reason?

        Australian slang, a very rude euphisism for a US citizen.

        It’s rhyming slang for Yank (Yankee doodle dandy) --> septic tank – > Seppo
