EXACTLY this is what I'm thinking

I can understand using formal language in formal places but lemmy generally isn't super formal

I think with the rise of the internet informal writing has gotten significantly more common, which is leading to changes in the written language

For a long time stuff like slang has generally been limited to speech, transcriptions of speech and quotations, but with messaging and internet, it's common to write in the same register as you speak
