Texas officials acknowledged some errors after they stripped Medicaid coverage from more than 2 million people, most of them children. A ProPublica and Texas Tribune review of records shows that these mistakes and others were preventable.
Sub cannot refer to subreddit outside the context of reddit. You say it can only be used exclusively for one thing only and disregard its general definition as a prefix. That’s like claiming sub cannot refer to a submarine in a marine context because “it’s already short for subreddit”
doesn’t necessarily need be a part of another word, can also be used as a noun on its own, just as part of a bigger whole. If it necessarily needs to be a prefix, think of subpage.
Why’d I need to have heard it in order to use it. But yes, I heard people use it on lemmy to refer to communities
What is wrong is not me here. Look, I get it. It’s called a subreddit on Reddit. But this is Lemmy and we don’t have subs. We have communities. And there’s a community for world news, but this isn’t it
its a COMMUNITY not a sub and its called NEWS not world news
What do you have against calling it a sub? Yeah, that’s what I said, non world news, whats wrong with you mate
The same thing someone at Mastodon would have against calling what people post there “tweets.” It’s not the right word.
Aha. Semi good point. But sub is a much more general word. See other comment

A) what does it stand for, and
B) where did you hear it from?

sub is used as a noun countless times. Why’d you bother being the language police anyway. People get what you mean, so it’s fine anyway
As shorthand for “subreddit” rofl
No. Way more things. Submarine, subtitles, suburbs, subscriber.
Just give up
