TIL that despite the frequent assertion that lesbian relationships have the highest DV the source data paints a different picture.

DV
What do you do with all the time you save making titles useless?
I think they mean Delta V or the potential change in velocity. So it's saying that a lesbian relationship has the highest potential to travel the furthest.
From that, I can extrapolate that lesbian relationships are the future of space travel and all future astronauts will be in lesbian relationships.
it's the seventh most common use case of course
unless there's an actual reason to leave "domestic violence" out of a Lemmy post. I assume it's a bad habit learned from corpo social media
those aren’t sorted by frequency, also see this comment
I opt for "deo volente" (god willing)
Algospeak. The voluntary censoring of your own language to satisfy the advertising requirements of corporations who want to monetize your thoughts.
While I do understand the need for language guidelines on platforms, the nearly instant training of TikTok users to avoid or substitute brand-unfriendly language is disgusting.
edit to add: DV has been a common abbreviation for the term long before social media algorithms were in the public eye source (Google ngrams)
i know people add it to their filters and blocks as a potentially triggering topic. more relevant on mastodon with their custom content warning messages but there are definitely more reasons to do this than “algospeak.” also prevalent on tumblr a la “CW: DV, SA,” which again can be filtered out per user. hopefully this can make u a little less disgusted :)
esit 2: this comment is not a defense of this behavior? i have had to repeat several times in this discussion that i am not defending the action, just providing a parallel narrative that i happen to know a bit about. knowing why people do a thing doesn’t make me an advocate for that behavior, it just makes me someone who paid attention lol
I really hate these TIL posts where the post title doesn't actually tell you the information. "Paints a different picture"? Okay, what picture? Also, what frequent assertion? I've literally never heard that lesbian couples have the most domestic violence.
its a bot that reposts from reddit. i just blocked them cuz its kinda antithetical to the point of the fediverse imho, also OP literally cannot respond lol
I'm aware that OP is a bot. Honestly that doesn't bother me as much since Reddit still has more active rules moderation for many of their subs.
FWIW my complaint applies to plenty of the posts that are made on this community by humans too. There are too many posts where the title is just "TIL about XYZ" and there's no explanation of what XYZ is.
