I ~never did and I think it’s a combination of various reasons:

1. I’m kinda shy (internally I might use a more offensive language, but I might even censor that too). And the fact that I’m not using such language for so long makes it more awkward to use it now.

2. In my family we probably use less vulgar laguange than the typical one, so I wasnt exposed that much on it (on the contrary, I was exposed to way more uncensored content on the internet and that may be why some vulgar phrases in English seem more natural/normal, while the same ones translated in Greek (my mother language) seem more offensive.

3. Many times I find it unecessary. I think they’re better used when you’re angry and help you let some steam out, rather than using them in a calm conversation with friends for example (though when others people use them even on me in a friendly way I kinda seem to like it for some reason? I might think we’re close so they feel confident to talk to ke that way?)

4. Maybe it’s just one of my quirks, lol. I might just do it, for not much reason.

5. I find many (not all!) of the vulgar phrases to discriminate minorities and people in general. I really dont want to use such words. I dont want to cause harm to innocent people just because I got angry.

I could probably think more if I spent more time thinking, hm

Did the decision bring any change to your life ?

As I said, I dont think I ever used such language, so I dont think there’s a change to talk about. Just some people might notice it and possibly comment about it (usually in good faith?)

Do you feel the decision stopped you from expressing something at some point ?

Kinda yes, sometimes I’m in a bad situation and kinda want to, but I dont want those conditions to “break” me. This might not make much sense tho.🤷

Yeah, I might try that too. I’m already drinking about half a liter of milk per day so.I thought trying something different :)

(I might also try protein powder for some extra flavour.)

I put some oats in water last night to finally try oatmeal🥺

This might be helpul:

Oh thank you!

We need a finalboss community

Welcome to Greece🥲

Lol, you’re right, I do, but I think I sneezed on my bicep/forearm before I started working out😆

This, or bicep or forearm if you’re like me and dont want extra germs developing in that elbow fold

Hello everyone!😂😂

Hey, I had seen that meme around here some weeks ago, but I lost it and was searching it recently. Thank you, gonna share it with my friend now:)

I think from the tests I did here with 2 people (from different instances) the downvotes are from any instance that federates with mine (though still not 100% sure).

I asked above to downvote me from their non-mander.xyz instance and I can see 2 downvotes.

While I’d prefer numbers, thank you for this comment, it’s encouraging😄

If I remember it, I might update you in a few months :)

Can you see my downvote on your comment? (Give it about a hour or so to federate)

I will remove it when you’ll reply (or if a day has passed).😅

Also, can you see any downvotes on this post? (I see 6 so far.)

So does this mean the downvotes I see on blahaj are exactly the number of downvotes from all the users in instances that allow downvotes which my instance federates with?

(I wrote it in such a confusing way, but I dont know if I can make it any better😅)

Edit: could you please downvote this comment from your (not mander.xyz) instance to test if the downvotes federate?

I’m still not very sure about this and I wanted to ask about it here for a long time. I think they are “disabled”, but I think on lemmy, disabling them means that for every 5 downvotes the system shows a downvote. I don’t exactly understand how it works on communities with downvotes disabled.

Edit: I found this post by Ada about a year ago:

https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/104422

Turns out that it (probably) was decided to modify the downvote system so that for every 5 downvotes, 1 downvote appears. I’m still kinda confused tho😅

Probably first time seeing a post on 196 that has same number of upvotes and downvotes (and it’s not 1-1)💀

Haha thanks :)

And yeah, this could probably quickly either wipe us out (along with possibly everything else) or help us flourish (along with the rest of the world)

Lol, I wanted to break this law so that we can have infinite energy sources (fun stuff) and to be able to destroy ~useless energy (like thermal energy which is a byproduct of probably all energy conversions), thus reducing entropy and other fun stuff.

What about going after the law of conservation of energy?😈

What if energy can be created, destroyed and conserved now? :)
