Last I heard they want to switch to another platform, and don’t consider it worth upgrading to 0.19 because they’re leaving soon so it wouldn’t be worth the hassle.

This is pure guesswork on my part, but they could be waiting for Sublinks (a Lemmy-compatible backend) to get up to speed before switching to that. They say that the new platform is “compatible with all Lemmy apps”, and Sublinks is the only project I know of that fits that criteria.

It’s a joke.

The community is a copy of the subreddit r/whitepeopletwitter, which is a spin-off of r/blackpeopletwitter. It’s not meant for exclusively white-person tweets - rather, it’s just meant to be a funny name to those who are aware of r/blackpeopletwitter. The omission of “white” in the display name is probably to reflect that they accept tweets from people of any ethnicity.

They don’t want you to see the tongues licking the dishes

I would say “Merry Christmas” is used more often here, but “Happy Christmas” is used a lot too. The Queen used to say “Happy Christmas” in her speech every year, which might have something to do with its popularity here? I didn’t know it wasn’t used in the US.

He definitely gets the seal of approval

It says “doesn’t use the internet”, not “can’t use the internet”. Whilst the internet has become more accessible over time through the use of screen readers etc, accessibility is unfortunately not considered a priority for many apps and websites. It’s trickier to navigate the web as a blind person because websites are primarily designed to be looked at, not heard. It’s not unreasonable that she might just not want to use it, even though she could learn to.

I’m aware of this - unfortunately, Lemmy doesn’t allow transcription of the post image in this way, as it isn’t part of the post body markdown. In Lemmy 0.19.4 or 0.19.5 (I’m not sure which) they added an actual alt_text field to posts for this (see here). Once sh.itjust.works updates to that version, I’ll start using that field :D

The photo on the left is with makeup; the photo on the right is without. On the leftmost image the lips are more saturated and have more defined edges and there is more shadow around the eyes.

It says “hot surface do not touch” in full, actually. Braille uses single characters to represent some common letter combinations (“touch” is “t” + “ou” + “ch”). The words “do” and “not” are each contracted to a single letter (“d” and “n” respectively).
