Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•why do people register new communities and then not post content on them?

1·2 years agoIt’s a simplified stand-in for “creation or evolution?” The “hard to tell” usage of the phrase that is often used has always confused me, because it is an easy answer regardless of your worldview, but different worldviews have different ‘obvious’ answers



Hyperbole and other superlatives are very common forms of lying, because “everyone” knows that it isn’t literally true, so if you call it out you look like a pedant, but it still has a greater emotional impact than an honest representation of the situation, so it’s a lie that gives the desired outcome of painting your picture without the risk of reputational damage if you are caught in the lie
