    I’m sympathetic… I’m not sure I’d be willing to share a sh.itjust.works link to my company #general slack channel.

    Though that is far from the biggest problem Lemmy has for adoption. Many communities are simply flooded with 15yr old tankies.

      Usually I’ll be sharing either screenshots or just straight ripping the meme to send directly. But I also don’t generally communicate with work colleagues outside of work

      Jeez. It’s just a link to just a site. What is the problem with that url? If it’s share-worthy, just share. If people don’t click it because of “bUt iTs nOt a .CoM!” screw them, bad luck for them. People need to study and pay a lot to be allowed to drive a car, but any technically challenged dildo can use the interwebz without the slightest clue about anything, and is also allowed to voice an opinion about it.

        When you grow up you’ll realize that sometimes you need to consider the attitudes and feelings of others rather than just “fuck 'em”.

          If someone’s feelings are hurt by a silly url, it’s me that should grow up? We’re not talking about trigger-urls like r*pe-is-fun.org or similar.

          I have not met a single person since the beginning of the internet that would have his/her feelz hurt by sh.itjust.works.

            Yes. It’s you who should realize that other people’s perspectives, thoughts, opinions, etc. matter. It’s something one typically learns as they grow into adulthood.

          “when you grow up” is what people say when their skin starts to grow over the mask they wear.

          I got tired of half-assing being someone else. Frankly I’m too busy to bother.
