Do you write screeds about the woke mob and women with blue hair too?
It’s not normal, you’re completely right about that. It doesn’t matter. Everything does not have to look like the corporate internet and frankly advocating that everything on the internet wear a suit and tie to be “taken serious” (your words) is something you should re-examine. Spaces with different cultures are good and having a kneejerk reactionary intolerance to them is bad.
Do you also think that workers shouldn’t have tattoos?
Real question. Because up until a few years ago that was part of being “professional”.
The definition of professional is just a social construction. One created by and perpetuated by the bourgeoisie through their corporations. You can make the decision to discard it, and by doing so you can embrace a vast multicultural way of presenting things. Is some of that going to be strange and foreign to people outside of each culture? Yes it is. Is there anything wrong with that? Nah.
If I was on trial for murder, or something equally as serious, I’d want my attorney to look like an attorney.
I don’t care how good of an attorney they are, if they don’t look like one, I don’t think I’d hire them because it’s not what I think that matters, it’s what the jury or the judge thinks.
It’s the same for a pledge online. If you have little hearts flowing over your text and shitty design, it doesn’t matter what I think. It’s what everyone else thinks.
Great, but this isn’t that. This is the fediverse where the existence of unique subcultures are promoted and celebrated.
The only thing happening here is that redditors who are coming over to fedi for the first time are having a culture shock when they’re exposed to anything outside of “thanks for the gold gentlesir”, “rip my inbox” and nasally snorting about some logical fallacy in a basic conversation. Which is funny because the rest of the internet has always viewed reddit culture as a freakish attempt to act like being Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang is a good thing. Bazinga!
That site is really bringing me back to my Myspace days
yeah, for real… wtf is up with that page?
Personality
If personalities were bumper stickers… this would tell me that they were a 13 year old girl who just learned html.
Or… ‘don’t take me serious!’

That’s bull.
If you can’t see the relevance of looking professional than I don’t know what to tell you. It’s important.
