I think people here might be more conscious of what they post, due to the relatively low quantity of things being posted here. On larger platforms, what you write is more likely to be overlooked, so people care less.
Lemmy is so good right now because there are no kids here

How do you even make any typos with all the autocorrect nowadays is beyond me.
GONADS125 8 points 3 years ago
My autocorrect on my Galaxy s22+ is actually a detriment to me... It constantly changes "me" to "Mr" or "MT" and dumb shit like that.. I spend more time correcting 'autocorrects' than typing text.. Why is it so bad suddenly??

I personally don't use auto correct for a couple reason, so typos still happen from time to time.

My pet peeve is when people put a space before the full stop or the exclamation mark. Something like this !
Kernal64 2 points 3 years ago
I can't describe how much that nonsense drives me up the wall. You have to go out of your way to put that space there and yet there's a non-trivial amount of people who do that. So much effort into wilfully making a mistake, over and over! It's even worse than people who say, "arrive to." And you can't tell me that the clowns doing this don't know what they're doing is wrong. They've definitely seen printed text before, whether it's a book or even just other people's comments, and none of it has that extra space.

I think many of the typos were on purpose. The idea was to get engagement and telling OP that they misspelled something was engagement. It's "algorithm think"

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I haven't been here much since I joined last week, but one thing I noticed is I've barely seen any typos on Lemmy. While I definitely don't mind seeing the occasional typo, the number of spelling mistakes was getting annoying, and it's gotten progressively worse over the last year or so.
