Haha, you’re good, mate. I don’t actually hate puns, i just found them to be annoying when I was trying to ask questions and people would make huge threads of puns instead of contributing to the conversation. I wouldn’t get annoyed with a pun centred magazine, because that’s what the magazine is about
No, I’m fine with puns if they’re good and I think they have their place. The problem was that people would make dumb puns and jokes to karma farm instead of engaging in what could have been an interesting conversation in a lot of circumstances.
“Thanks for the gold kind stranger!”
all the excessive awards
people making entire threads of stupid puns
typing out song lyrics
that dumb broken arms thing
kbin has been my favourite so far
Oh yeah, it was seriously terrible. I’d log off for the rest of the day sometimes, because I’d be having a decent conversation and then get some stupid bot reply that was a reminder of the fact that I have a disability that I have no control over. It really wears on you after a while, not to mention the people who I’d be having a debate with in comments and instead of focusing on what I was trying to say, they’d focus on my grammar mistakes, but that’s another issue entirely. It’s also completely demoralising when I’m trying my very best to communicate and learn, and then you’re just hit with rude people and condescending bots.
I hated the grammar correcting bots, because I often misspell things due to being dyslexic. Or I used the wrong words, because I’d be trying to write in a language that wasn’t my first one. It got old reaaaal fast.
I’d do this before I made a threads account tbh
