  • I don’t see a reason to spell it phonetically when it is a real word (forge in esperanto). A phonetic spelling would also only be more digestible to readers who know the language the phonetic spelling is tailored at (phonetic spelling is language specific as different languages use different ways to represent different sounds).

    ĝ is simply the english sound of the consonants in the following words: “john”, “gem”, “jar”. And j is pronounced as the y in “yes” and “yoink”

    The diacritic would clear up confusion, because “g” without the diacritic has different sound (like the g in “gamma”, “girl”, “go” in english). The diacritic as a bonus would also makes it clear that it isn’t supposed to be pronounced it as if it were in english, because english does not use the ^ diacritic. It would also extinguish my annoyance at seeing a misspelled word being used as a trademark.







  • At least with hexbear you should be able to stop any further responses by stating within the comment that you wish to disengage from the conversation.

    https://hexbear.net/code_of_conduct :

    Any discussions may be opted out of by disengaging

    However, do not add anything else as hexbear’s disengage rule only applies if you don’t use it to have the last word in the matter.

    Also, while some hexbear posts may sometimes contain nudity (though I have never seen any pornography on there and it’s probably not even allowed), it should be labeled as such. Anything potentially triggering or unwanted should have content warnings in the title.
