I did say i’m not creative :) I like db0’s m@tey personally. Your suggestions aren’t bad, either

I will never get why most arabs hate gays. Why? They’re clearly fine with shattering the rules of their religion, and cherrypicking sharia; so why not just be consistent and not hate gays? Their existence affects literally no one.

Though, we’re more prone to arguing about ridiculous stuff rather than, you know… actually fixing our problems and corruption lmao

It’s quite charming, though maybe an acquired taste?

Yeah. Hopefully i can get my completely tech illiterate friends to switch lol

Really? i remember having to install some software to get me to do it. Though it was only like 7 years ago lol.

Sorry abt that :p they just misunderstood your reply

i think they were agreeing with us :^)

If only i can add this as an instance tagline 😔

Eh, i like our instance having an identity :p i don’t see it as elitism, just some fun. Users of dbzer0 works just fine, too; but having a little nickname is cool

Nullheads, zeronauts, diverrs?

Dunno, not creative

Glad to havem here :p

Some people will endlessly bicker about the most stupid shit. Like, who the fuck even cares if someone wants to be a woman or a man? That’s like the least problematic thing nowadays.

Disappointing to hear from the feddit.uk. Hopefully they get their shit together, i like their admins.

I got YDId out of YPTB 😔

Haha, i don’t recall discussing too much about stuff like this when you were active on matrix :p Either way, glad to hear it :D

By the way, how’s your hand now? Hope you’re doing better now

Yes. LW is big enough.

😊 Just glad i got to talk about it lol

Genuinely just thinking of getting my tech illiterate friends onto matrix finally. Fucking discord’s been keeling and enshittifying (natural course for software like it ofc) but don’t think i can deal with their shit anymore. Shitty store shoved down your throat, bad performance/privacy, paid stuff like custom emojis, going public…

Yeah fuck this, i should’ve jumped ship years ago.

Good pun, but i can’t help myself:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/اسلام_آباد#Urdu

اسلام اباد in urdu, literally translates to “Islamic area”

The اسلام (Isla:m) part comes from… the arabic word, duh lol

The اباد (a:ba:d) part comes from the PIE root *peh₂-, descending from middle/classical persian and then urdu.

The root just means “to protect, ward or shepherd” which leaves a lot of room for interpretation. The persian words mean thriving/populous (so does urdu).

There are also many derived (and recognized) words from it: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/peh₂-#Derived_terms Is pretty interesting to look at.

Do note it’s not like i really know too much of what i’m talking about, i just love this stuff.
